About Perth Metro Suicide Prevention Coordination

The Suicide Prevention Coordinator program is funded by the WA Mental Health Commission and works with the Commission to deliver on the current state-wide suicide prevention strategy (Suicide Prevention Framework 2021-2025).

There are 10 Suicide Prevention Coordinators across Western Australia with different service providers responsible for particular areas of the state. The Neami National Suicide Prevention Coordinator Team cover the Perth metropolitan area.

 

What is the role of the Perth Metro Suicide Prevention Coordinators?

  • To initiate, coordinate, manage and support the development, implementation and evaluation of suicide prevention, intervention and postvention activity in the Perth metropolitan area.
  • Build the capacity of the community and relevant service providers to enable them to better identify and address local suicide-related issues through evidence based prevention activity.
