Improving the educational experiences of Aboriginal children and young people

Our maps provide visual insight into how the number and rate of Indigenous suicides can vary across the different regions of Australia.

The following maps highlight the Indigenous suicide rate trends over time (from 2001 to 2012) in different regions of Australia.

A series of suicides among young people south of Perth in 2016 sparked a major overhaul of how support is offered to the people left behind after someone takes their own life.

Despite major advances in science in recent years, many Australians still don't understand the magnitude and importance of early years development to a child's life journey.
At The Kids Research Institute Australia, our vision is simple – happy, healthy kids. We bring together community, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and funders to share our mission to improve the health, development and lives of children and young people through excellence in research.

Leaders in the not-for-profit, research, philanthropy and business sectors have joined forces to shine a light on the human and economic benefits of early support for Australian children.
