Join Lifeline Western Melbourne

Walk with Us. Shine a Light. Change Lives.

This September, Lifeline Western Melbourne invites you to take part in the Out of the Shadows Walk 2026. A powerful community event held in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day.

Every day in Australia, we lose 9 lives to suicide. To remember them, we walk 9KM - one for each life lost. We walk to show support for Australians experiencing emotional distress or mental illness, and shine a light on suicide prevention in our community.

While World Suicide Prevention Day is officially on September 10, you’re encouraged to walk anytime, anywhere that works for you.

Looking for a bigger challenge? You can also walk 63km over a week (average of 9km per day). Set your intention when you register.

Join a movement of hope, remembrance, and action. Whether you walk alone, with friends, or as part of a team, you’ll be standing with a community united in the fight to prevent suicide.

Your steps and your support can change lives. Every dollar you raise helps Lifeline Western Melbourne provide critical, life-saving support to those in crisis. And when you raise $39 or more, you’ll receive a free Out of the Shadows t-shirt to wear proudly as a symbol of your advocacy.

Together, we can bring suicide out of the shadows and into the light.

To the families, friends, and loved ones left behind, may you find comfort in your cherished memories, strength in the love you shared, and support in those around you. May each day bring a little more healing, peace, and hope as you navigate your loss. May the memories of those you hold dear continue to live on in your hearts forever. 💜
