StandBy Support After Suicide is Australia's leading suicide postvention program, dedicated to assisting individuals, families, friends, witnesses, first responders, and service providers who have been bereaved or impacted by suicide. Established in 2002 as an Australian Government initiative, StandBy aims to provide a coordinated community response to suicide. The program offers comprehensive support and resources, including free face-to-face and telephone support, accessible seven days a week.

StandBy understands that each person's circumstances are unique, and therefore provides individualized, evidence-based support tailored to their specific needs. This support is continued for up to two years to ensure that individuals are not alone and receive ongoing assistance. Guided by local advisory groups and informed by a National Lived Experience Advisory Group, StandBy builds community preparedness and resilience through extensive training to both community and professional groups.

The program also offers group support after a suicide for schools, workplaces, and community groups. If you require support or information, StandBy is here to help. Contact them through their website or by calling 1300 727 247
