Suicidal behaviours are defined as thinking about or planning taking one’s own life (suicidal ideation) or attempting suicide.

Understanding the prevalence of suicidal behaviours in Australia is important as this may help to reduce stigma, increase help-seeking behaviour and improve suicide prevention activities.

Many people experience thoughts of suicide:

In 2023, there were 3,214 deaths by suicide. The age-standardised suicide rate was 11.8 per 100,000.

Three-quarters of people who died by suicide were male.

Men had a higher age-standardised suicide rate (18.0 per 100,000) than women (5.8 per 100,000).

Males aged 55-59 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate. Males aged 45-49 years accounted for the largest proportion of deaths due to suicide (10%).

Females aged 50-54 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate (10.0 deaths per 100,000). They accounted for the largest proportion of female suicide deaths (11%).

HELP US ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE IN 2024. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

People who experience suicidal ideation and make suicide plans are at increased risk of suicide attempts and those who experience all forms of suicidal thoughts and behaviours are at greater risk of dying by suicide

Congratulations to the Australian Men’s Cricket Team, worthy winners against hosts India in the ICC World Cup final last night by six wickets.

Globally, we lose one man to suicide every 60 seconds.

Movember is encouraging fans to go ‘beyond the banter’ and to check in on a mate to ensure less men die for this largely preventable reason.

GET SUPPORT

GIVE SUPPORT

GO BEYOND BANTER
Being a man of more words is not about dialing up the banter. It is about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.

If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point.
