The Australian Men’s Health Forum has renewed its calls for Government to form a plan to tackle male suicide as the National Suicide Prevention Conference gets underway in Perth today.

A recent Victorian Coroners Court report shows the number of male suicides in the state remains at a historic high.

The Australian Government has published its long-awaited National Suicide Prevention Strategy (2025-2035), which includes three recommended actions to prevent male suicide.

Former AFL player Dale ‘Daisy’ Thomas has spoken about the men’s health crisis ‘gripping Australia’ in the Rush Hour podcast with James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless.

This year is set to be a pivotal one for men’s health in Australia, with a range of landmark events, campaigns, and initiatives focused on tackling key health challenges facing men and boys. 

The NSW Government has released a report on Men’s Mental Health while also committing grants of up to $50,000 for community organisations to deliver targeted initiatives supporting men’s mental health and suicide prevention.

At a special breakfast hosted by Suicide Prevention Australia in Canberra today, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged the huge toll on “every single Australian” from the suicide crisis.

The fourth episode of the Over the Fence Conversations podcast will be recorded live on September 11th from 9:30am - 10:45am (AEST).
