This publication was written by Katie Kemp, with support from the AIHW Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Unit, First Nations Health and Welfare Group. It was commissioned for the AIHW Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse is funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care and is overseen by the Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Clearinghouse Steering Committee.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of Country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to Elders both past and present. We would like to thank First Nations people for their assistance in collecting data, without which this publication would not have been possible.
We also thank the Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Clearinghouse Steering Committee and Fadwa Al-Yaman for their advice and guidance during the development of this publication.
