About LIFE

Man and dog 

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 world-class suicide and self-harm prevention website. LIFE is dedicated to providing the best available evidence and resources to guide activities aimed at reducing the rate at which people take their lives in Australia.

LIFE resources are designed for people across the community who are involved in suicide and self-harm prevention activities. This includes researchers, community organisations, health and mental health professionals, service providers, and the government.

In addition to an extensive library of online resources, the LIFE website features:

  • the new LIFE Framework;
  • interactive elements such as live chats and a discussion forum;
  • opportunities to share expertise and discuss relevant issues;
  • current National Suicide Prevention Strategy (NSPS) initiatives, reports and resources; and 
  • opportunities to review the LIFE Framework and library resources.
