I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that a disproportionately high number of completed suicides and suicide attempts involve men in rural areas; and

(b) calls on the Government to implement the key recommendations of the Community Affairs References Committee report The hidden toll: Suicide in Australia, including:

(i) funding a national suicide prevention and awareness campaign, to run for at least 5 years, and

(ii) targeted measures to help prevent the incidence of suicide among high-risk groups in regional Australia.
