Australia’s suicide rate is of major concern. From 2011-2015 the number of people who ended their own lives was 10,407. In NSW alone, a high proportion of suicide deaths recorded were between the ages of 20-29 years.
The Suicide Risk HealthPathway has been created by a workgroup of local clinicians with expertise in mental health. The pathway provides some useful tools that can assist in the clinical evaluation of people at imminent risk of suicide.
The pathway includes an assessment and management section based on best practice guidelines, a referral section and culturally appropriate advice and red flags.

The ‘Patient Information’ section provides Lifeline and other useful counselling numbers and a printable PDF from the Black Dog Institute on ‘Facts about Suicide’.
