Coroners Court of Victoria - Suicides of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Victoria, 2020-2024

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are respectfully warned that the following report includes information associated with deceased persons from events that have occurred on Aboriginal land in Victoria. 

No names, voices or direct events are recorded within this report; however, the sensitive nature of the information is associated with the commencement of dreaming for many Aboriginal people and may impact some readers. 

This report was compiled to update organisations about the frequency and circumstances of suicides within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the state between 2020 and 2024. Accurately recording and reporting on suicides of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Victoria is critical to inform program development and other initiatives which aim to reduce suicide rates across Victorian Aboriginal communities.
