We're walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis

Tragically, every year over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians die by suicide. 

Lifeline receives over 1 million contacts from people in crisis each year.

Many Transport colleagues have been affected by the loss of someone to suicide, be it a family member, friend, work colleague or member of the travelling public. Its impacts can be devastating for those left behind.   

For World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept 10), the Transport Team will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the 9 people lost to suicide every day.

We are walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support Aussies in need.

You can do the walk to remember a loved one, as a personal tribute for a friend or work colleague, or to show your support for Australians experiencing emotional distress. 

There are a variety of ways you can do the walk. You can get a group of colleagues together and participate in a designated Lifeline walk. Or you can do the walk with friends and family anywhere, at a time of your choosing.        

Please support our walk and make a donation to help those in crisis.

Together we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
