World Su***de Prevention Day | 10 September 2026

Today, Council joins communities around the world to recognise World Su***de Prevention Day and help raise awareness of the importance of su***de prevention.

A chat with a friend, a check-in with a neighbour, listening without judgement, or simply letting someone know you care can help build a more supportive and understanding community.

Every conversation matters.

๐ŸŒ Join the global conversation with International Association for Su***de Prevention.

๐Ÿ’› If you or someone you know needs support, youโ€™re not alone.

If you need someone to talk to, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14. You can also text 0477 13 11 14 or visit Lifeline Australia for support.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).
