Strong Men, Strong Mob: Changing the Story on Su***de

Our men and boys matter. Their voices matter. Their lives matter.

Gayaa Dhuwi and THIRRILI are calling on governments to turn national su***de prevention commitments into action, with sustained investment in culturally grounded, community-led responses.

Our communities know what is needed. Now we need implementation, investment and accountability.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we recognise the strength, knowledge and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

The Gayaa Dhuwi Declaration Framework and Implementation Plan set out a clear path for change grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, culture, self-determination and accountability.

Our communities have told governments and the mental health system what is needed. Now we need to turn that knowledge into action.

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we honour those who have been lost by su***de, people with lived and living experience, and the families, kin and communities impacted by su***de.

In 2024, 306 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people died to su***de, the highest number ever recorded. While safe and compassionate conversations are essential, changing the narrative must also mean changing the systems and conditions contributing to these unacceptable outcomes.

Our media release calls for governments to close the gap between commitment and implementation through sustained investment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led solutions, shared decision-making, culturally safe services and transparent accountability.

Today, on Gayaa Dhuwi Day, we mark the anniversary of the Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Declaration, launched on 27 August 2015.

For more than a decade, governments have recognised the importance of the Declaration and committed to its implementation. With the National Mental Health and Su***de Prevention Agreement being renewed, there is a critical opportunity to turn those commitments into funded implementation, stronger accountability and lasting system reform.

Our media release sets out what we believe the renewed National Agreement must deliver to achieve outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and su***de prevention.

Have you read our submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs inquiry into racism, hate and violence?

Our submission calls for governments to move beyond symbolic responses and address racism through truth-telling, self-determination, enforceable accountability, cultural safety, workforce protection and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led reform.

At a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander su***de rates remain devastatingly high, responses to racism must be embedded across health, mental health, social and emotional wellbeing, su***de prevention, justice, education, child protection, online safety and Closing the Gap reforms.

Gayaa Dhuwi is calling for national action that recognises racism as a serious and preventable harm to social and emotional wellbeing, safety, service access and community life. This action must ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, culture, evidence and authority are central to the systems meant to support our Peoples.
