Abstract
Australia's rate of youth suicide is amongst the highest in the industrialised world, with young men and young people between 15 and 24 years of age in rural and regional areas most at risk. Each week, ten young Australians kill themselves and 1000 attempt to do so. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youths are 40% more likely to commit suicide than the general community. The rate of male youth suicide has trebled since 1960, and there has been a doubling of the female rate since 1950.
