One of the biggest issues in the Australian business sector and workforce is the relationship between employees and employers. The Fair Work Amendment Act 2013, aims to support workers

In Australia suicide is the leading cause of death among young people (Khan & Francis, 2015). According to an Australian national survey conducted, 7.3 million or 43% of Australians between the ages of 16 & 85 will experience some form of mental health related condition during their lifetime. This may include anxiety, depression and drug misuse. Mental health issues are also very costly for the healthcare system. These issues are costing the Australian government alone, more than 6 billion dollars per year (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2013). To help reduce these costs, more education and promotion needs to be provided when caring for an adolescent with mental health issues, and strength-based models of care need

In addition, the program offered healing to the community still healing from the legacy of colonialism. If the federal government kept funding the suicide prevention program there would not have been a spike in suicide rates in the community. Furthermore, a psychologist at the University of Victoria, Christopher Lalonde, believes the key to stopping suicides is rooted in the communities (McCue, 2016). From two decades of researching, he found that the communities that are the least “culturally healthy” have a higher rate of youth suicide (McCue, 2016). Also, the mental wellness of aboriginal youths is not only about being mentally healthy but also having a balance between Aboriginal youths’ families, communities, and the environment (Khan, 2008). Therefore, it will be better that Aboriginal suicide prevention programs are created by Aboriginal communities to target the prevalence issues in their communities with some assistance from the government to set it up and fund

Since the mid to late 1990’s, youth suicide has become a common cause of death for young Australians (Carter 2010 para. 1). The government then acted and managed to reduce the suicide rate, which was a success (Carter 2010 para. 2). After decades, the problem was re-encountered and it became one of the leading causes of death for people under 25 years old in Australia surpassing car

The Centre for Suicide Prevention, also known as the CSP is an education centre with the largest known English language library devoted to the collection and publication of suicide prevention and intervention resources. They provide many different resources on the topic of suicide with information in risk factors, stats, programs and more. This source perfectly fits my chosen topic. This article was published in June 2013, which was fairly recent, therefore it being relevant to my research. I decided to select this source because it gave me exactly what I was looking for in order to have a successful research paper. It will be most helpful to the concrete data of my essay. This article gives an anthropological view on suicide within the Aboriginal community. This article was able to give an insight on how Aboriginals were alienated and taken away from their culture, therefore causing

In spite of the increasing rate of suicide, suicide is preventable. The Control Center for Disease Control and Prevention use a four- step approach to prevent and to educate the public on mental health issues. The four-steps consist of defining the problem and the risk, then developing prevention strategies and ensuring widespread adoption. With this intention, to reach the target of 10.2 set by Healthy People 2020 it is important to include public health intervention such as starting a campaign for opening the doors to talk about

Creating a systems approach to create a zero suicide environment for both healthcare providers and patients worked well for the Ford Health System HMO (Hampton, 2010). They were able to achieve zero suicides for at least one year in their HMO, which is something that everyone should strive for. As the owner of the clinic, I provide the endorsement starting from the very top of the organisation, and since it will be my clinic I will be able to create the appropriate culture. The next steps will be to provide all of the workers training and make sure that they are also on-board with the goal of achieving zero suicide deaths. I will also need to develop the appropriate protocol for myself to follow as well as anyone else that may recognize that a patient is experiencing a suicidal crisis. This could involve ensuring that there are spots reserved in my schedule for people who are experiencing a crisis, so that they can be seen as soon as possible. I could also have referrals available for those who need to talk to someone right away, but when I may not have any availability. Lastly, I will ensure that everyone working in my clinic knows what is expected from them at each position in the clinic (M. Class 3/1). Doing all these individual steps will ensure success as a clinic so that we can work to prevent suicide in all of the

The Howard government introduced a Criminal Code Amendment bill in 2005. This bill stated that it would be an offence to use suicide aids to promote or provide instruction on how to commit or to assist an individual into suicide. The use of the internet, exchanging of emails and telephones etc. for the purpose of a suicide plan and/or insight would be prohibited. It would also be considered an offence to possess or supply any such material.

Suicide among Aboriginal youth has been occurring at an alarming rate in the recent years. Statistics show that the Aboriginal suicide rate is two to three times higher than the non-Aboriginal suicide rate for Canada, and within the ‘youth’ age group, the Aboriginal suicide rate is estimated to be five to six times higher than that of non-Aboriginal youth (Health Canada 2003). Although I do not think it is possible to come to a definitive single answer as to why suicide rates in Aboriginal communities are higher than in non-Aboriginal areas, it is worth exploring the possible reasons as to why this could be the case. This may include discussing the health care offered to those identifying as Aboriginal, looking at population censuses, and other

Suicide is a disturbing and alarming issue confronting Australia’s Indigenous communities, particularly the youth. Unknown to the Aboriginal peoples prior to invasion, the current rate of suicide exceeds considerably from that of non-Aboriginal people. (Creative Spirits, 2016).

The organization was tasked with establishing goals and objectives to prevent suicide across the nation (“Goals and Objectives” 1). Though the initiatives the National Strategy of Suicide Prevention set in place may be effective, suicide rates continue to climb amongst

Every year approximately one in five Australians will experience a form of mental illness. (1) It is a significant issue in Australia, with 45% of Australians aged between 16-85 having a mental illness at some point in their life. (2) It is also an increasingly costly issue as between 1992-1993 and 2010-2011, when looking at government spending, the recurrent expenditure on mental health has increased by 178%. (3) Suicide is the leading cause of death to people aged 15-24 years old in Australia, in 2012, 26.2% of deaths among this faction was as a result of suicide, (6) in 2015 this increased to 33.9% of all 15-24 year old deaths.
