Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 25-44.
54% of people with a mental illness do not seek any treatment.
Every day in Australia, at least 6 people die by suicide.
Depression is the #1 cause of non-fatal disability in Australia (23%).
There are approximately 65,300 suicide attempts in Australia each year.
