Government Mental Health Websites
The National Suicide Prevention Strategy is guided by the Living Is For Everyone (LIFE) Framework which sets out the national priorities for suicide and self-harm prevention. The LIFE Framework and supporting resources are complemented by a suicide and self-harm prevention website.
The National Suicide Prevention Strategy (NSPS) focuses on people of all age groups and those identified as being at risk of suicide in the community.
HealthInsite is a Commonwealth Government of Australia initiative. Within this site you will find a wide range of up-to-date and quality assessed information on important health topics such as diabetes, cancer, mental health and asthma.
