Australia has always been known as the lucky Country. If this is true, why is it that so many Men & Women commit suicide every year?
Suicide Statistics - from WWW.LifeLine.org.au
• 8.6 Australians die every day by suicide. That’s more than double the road toll (ABS, 2022)
• 75% of those who take their own life are male (ABS, 2022)
• An unknown number of Australians attempt suicide every year, with some estimates suggesting this figure may be over 65,000 (Slade et al, 2009).
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians between the ages of 15 and 44 (AIHW, 2022a)
• The suicide rate in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is twice that of their non-Indigenous counterparts (ABS, 2022)
• People in rural populations are 2 times more likely to take their life by suicide by suicide (AIHW, 2022b)
• LGBTIQ+ community members report having attempted suicide in the past 12 months at a rate 10 times higher than the general Australian population (Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, 2021; Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, 2020)
• Beyond the tragic loss of the person, the impact of suicide deaths are felt by up to 135 people, including family members, work colleagues, friends, first responders at the time of death (Cerel et al, 2019)
• Males aged 85 and older experience the highest age-specific rate of suicide (ABS, 2022)
•An estimated 1 in 3 of Australians reported feeling lonely (AIHW, 2021)
Lifeline is there to listen to anyone, anytime.
Please help ME raise funds to ensure this Suicide rate is lowered and ensure that Australia remains the lucky Country for everyone.
Movember ain’t over until my target is reached & until then the MO of 2023 will keep growing

We will donate another $100 if you still have the MO in Jan 2024!!
As Movember ticks over the half way point, the MO & my target are making good progress. But more donations are needed to reach the goal of $1000. My family are not a fan of me with a MO, so to add a twist, I don’t plan on shaving the MO off until I pass my target!! Australia has always been known as the lucky Country. If this is true, why is it that so many Men & Women commit suicide every year? Help me & others this Movember to raise funds to reduce the suicide rate. Thank you
