Suicide Prevention Coordination

The WA Suicide Prevention Coordinator program is funded by the WA Mental Health Commission under the Suicide Prevention Framework 2021-2025.

There are 10 Suicide Prevention Coordinators hosted by different service providers in each region of the State. The Neami National Suicide Prevention Coordinators cover the Perth metropolitan area.

The focus of our role is to build community capacity to prevent and respond to suicide.

We partner with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver training, education, events, projects and networks. This builds community capacity for evidenced informed approaches to suicide prevention and postvention.

We do not provide a direct service for individuals. For urgent support in WA please phone:

• Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636
