The Australian Press Council has released revised guidelines regarding how the media can report on suicide.
The new guidelines will hopefully mean that the media and the community as a whole can be more open about the issue. As a result it is hoped that suicide rates will decline and that unnecessary deaths can be prevented through greater awareness of the issue.
For more information about the guidelines:
