Answer

I am advised that the Mental Health Foundation is administering the All-of-Population Suicide Prevention Community Fund. I am further advised that the Foundation has appointed an independent panel to assess and determine applications for funding. The panel brings together a range of expertise in suicide prevention and is constituted to reflect the priority populations and communities identified in the Suicide Prevention Action Plan 2025–2029.
