Tender Description
The successful applicant will deliver a monitoring system of acute overdose and mental health-related ambulance presentations (where self-harm or suicidal behaviour is involved) at a population level.
The primary output of this project will be the provision of data to States and Territories for monitoring emerging patterns of ambulance attendances on alcohol and other drug attendances, and self-harm and suicidal behaviour and to the AIHW for inclusion in the Suicide and Self-harm Monitoring System.
Funding for this project represents value for money, given the lack of data available on suicidal behaviour and overdose and will develop a high-quality data set that will provide ongoing benefit to the Commonwealth Government and the National Suicide and Self-harm Monitoring System.
The estimated economic cost of suicide in Australia is $2.2 billion per annum (KPMG, 2017), with death by suicide the leading cause of death in people aged 15 to 44 years. As such, this project will contribute to an evidence base that will assist governments, services and the community in their suicide prevention and intervention activities.
Other Instructions:
The estimated budget is $1,936,000 (inclusive of GST) per annum pro-rata to 30 June 2025, with the possibility of extension
Conditions for Participation:
The successful tenderer will work with state and territory paramedic organisations to further develop and expand the nationally consistent collection of data on paramedic call outs to suicidal and self-harming events, which form a component of the National Suicide and Self-harm Monitoring System.
