The Clearinghouse is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and 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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for their assistance in the collection of data, without which this publication would not have been possible.

We thank the Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Clearinghouse Steering Committee, Ms Pooja Chowdhary, Dr Kristal Coe and Dr Fadwa Al-Yaman for their advice and guidance on this publication during its development. We also thank the Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Unit for their support.
