Drug Strategy Household Survey 2022 - 2023

​

Drug use affects individuals, families and the community. Every 3 years, people in Australia are asked about their use and opinions of licit and illicit drugs, including alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarettes and vapes.

More than 21,000 people across the country took part in the latest National Drug Strategy Household Survey, held in 2022 and 2023. This report presents findings from the survey and looks at what has changed over the past 20 years.

Deaths by suicide in Australia

​

Suicide can affect anyone – regardless of their personal characteristics and family background – but some populations are at greater risk. There is also no single reason why a person chooses to end their life – the reasons are often complex.

Monitoring the number, trends and rates of suicide in Australia is key to understanding who is at risk and for the planning and targeting of suicide prevention activities.

It is our endeavour that by bringing together various data sources we can strengthen the evidence base to build a more coherent picture of suicide and self-harm in Australia to improve the effectiveness of suicide prevention.
