Suicide death rates among men have been climbing over recent decades and the years of potential life lost from suicide, compared to those lost from other deaths, has been rising. Residents tended to be older, have lower incomes and were less likely to be in the labour force, than the general population. There are also 14 national and State summary tables which present over 300 social indicators to show trends over time and comparisons between States and Territories over a range of different social issues. Also presented is a set of International tables, showing where Australia stands in relation to our nearest neighbours and trading partners. To assist your coverage, ABS has arranged a number of expert commentators for many of these subject areas.
ABS is also available for interviews etc about the data.
