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.
Thank you to our Sponsors
