The Gold Coast region has been actively working to transform mental health crisis care, driven by the Gold Coast Crisis Reform 2021-2024 strategic framework for Responsive Effective, Compassionate, and Connected Care. Through effective partnerships, embedding principles of crisis care and establishment of new models of care, the Gold Coast now has a coordinated continuum of care to prevent, respond to and resolve crisis. 

The Suicide Prevention Community Action Plan

As an initiative of the Joint Regional Plan, a Suicide Prevention Community Action Plan (CAP) was developed utilising the LifeSpan framework to support a holistic approach to suicide prevention in our region.  

The CAP seeks to strengthen relationships and collaboration in the planning, coordination, and implementation of suicide prevention activities. As this plan is ambitious and wide-reaching, people are encouraged to use it to guide all suicide prevention activities in the Gold Coast region. This plan is intended to be iterative and ongoing. The Suicide Prevention Implementation Group provides guidance for its implementation and is supported by the Regional Suicide Prevention Coordinator.
