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
