How to use the Policy Concordance
This Concordance works by collating and organising extracts of relevant text from strategic directions and actions in these policy documents by themes and major subject matters. Against each extract, action numbers, page numbers are listed. In these ways, this Concordance aims to make cross-referencing across the number of documents that touch on Indigenous suicide prevention policy as easy as possible. In doing so, it highlights important shared elements in many policy documents, as well as responses that are Indigenous-specific and vary from mainstream responses.
While every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of this document, and currency of the documents therein (at October 2019) it should not be used as a substitute for the policy documents themselves.
We invite you to contribute to the Concordance with relevant and innovative strategy and practice examples.

The NTSPCC includes government departments and non-government organisations providing representation for those whose lives have been impacted by suicide and suicidal behaviour. The purpose of the NTSPCC is to:
- provide strategic advice and support and to oversee a multi sectoral approach to halving the incidence of suicide in the NT over the next ten years.
- contribute to the development and monitoring of the NT Suicide Prevention Strategic Framework 2018–2023
- Provide strategic advice to the monitoring of coordinated suicide prevention activities across the Territory (taking into account factors such as regional integration, capacity, capability, quality and safety)
- Utilise and form interagency working parties, when necessary, to progress areas of work for the NTSPCC. The Committee may invite individuals with specialist expertise to participate in working parties as necessary
- Provide advice and communication channels for the flow of information about suicide prevention initiatives.
- The NTSPCC reports to the NT Legislative Council’s Children and Families Standing Committee

- Identify the planning group – the first step is to identify who will participate in the planning and implementation process. This might include stakeholders from: local service providers, Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander Elders, leaders, interested community members or other groups such as sports clubs. It does not need to be a new committee or group. It may be an existing community network, committee, or informal group of people who meet for other purposes related to improving the wellbeing of individuals, families or the community as whole.
- Collaborative critical conversation of the current state – the planning network or group can undertake a critical conversation regarding the current state of local suicide prevention and intervention activities. Questions that might inform this assessment include:
- Who are the priority groups in this region?
- What services or initiatives are currently offered to support suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention?
- What do we currently do in each of the 11 focus elements (surveillance, media, awareness etc.)?
- Where are our strengths?
- What do we need?
- Identify the future state – once the current state conversations have occurred, consider future needs. Questions to inform this discussion might include:
- What are the gaps in our services?
- What do we need to offer to support our various priority groups?
- What needs to be done to fill the focus element gaps?
- Develop a Plan – use information gained from these discussions to develop a set of actions for your region. These actions should be measurable and align to the goals, outcomes and focus elements in the NTSPSF Implementation Plan.

Governance
Reference: Vic SP Fr, p.28
- The Victorian Government will drive the implementation of the Victorian Suicide Prevention Framework 2016–2025 through ensuring cross-government leadership and accountability.
- The government will consult regularly with the Expert Taskforce on Mental Health on progress with the suicide prevention strategy and emerging issues in the community, and on the development of new initiatives.
- The government will also consult other key advisory groups on the effective approaches to suicide prevention in key vulnerable groups, including specifically the Aboriginal and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse and intersex communities. Local suicide prevention groups will be established to oversee the development of the place-based trials.
- These groups will be supported by the Department of Health and Human Services and partners.
- The government will report annually on progress, with suicide prevention as part of the annual report to parliament on mental health.
- The measure for assessing progress will be the age standardised rate of deaths from intentional self-harm as reported annually by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in its Causes of death publication.
- The suicide prevention framework will be evaluated, including evaluation of the effectiveness of individual interventions.
Strategic responses – mainstream
Reference: Vic SP Fr, p.9
- Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2015–2019
- Victoria’s 10-year mental health plan
- Through the Victorian Suicide Prevention Framework 2016–2025, the government is committed to halving the rate of suicide deaths by 2025. This target is guided by a broader vision, similar to the Vision Zero approach to road safety and the international Zero Suicides in Health Care approach. We aim to keep working on suicide prevention until there are no suicide deaths.
- The government aims to reduce the gap in suicide rates between particular vulnerable groups and the general population.
- The framework sets these long-term targets and the principles and objectives to guide government decisions over the next 10 years.
- It also outlines the key actions over the next three years to support progress towards meeting the target. Many of the actions build on existing proven strategies but there is also a focus on investment in new initiatives. The framework includes universal initiatives and initiatives that aim to respond to the needs of vulnerable and at-risk groups.
- Victoria’s Correctional Suicide Prevention Framework has identified a set of foundation principles to inform prevention activities. These include those from the LIFE Framework, plus additional principles relevant to the correctional setting.

- Overall responsibility for implementing and monitoring the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy (2016–2020) will reside with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), with the support of the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Committee (TSPC) and the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Community Network (TSPCN).
- It will also require the involvement of people with lived experience, clinicians, the Tasmanian Health Service (THS), the community sector, sectors outside of health such as education, emergency services, media, justice, workplaces, industry and other key stakeholders.
- Primary Health Tasmania (PHT) will also have a key role as a member of the TSPC to ensure that Tasmania can leverage national mental health and suicide prevention reforms and available resources to complement regional approaches to suicide prevention.
- DHHS will provide an annual report to the Minister for Health on progress against the key actions outlined in the Strategy.
