The Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety (MARS) Program is pleased to be supporting Suicide Prevention Australia in the development and implementation of a Suicide Prevention Competency Framework for the mining industry in Western Australia, which will be accompanied by an e-learning package comprising multiple educational modules for staff.
The framework is being developed with the aim of assisting the mining industry in Western Australia to implement enhanced hazard elimination and risk mitigation tools and strategies within their communities. It will prioritise cultural accessibility and consider the diversity and inherent risks in this sector while, at the same time, considering the roles of all staff.
Stakeholders will be asked to assist in the design of the Framework and e-learning packages.
If you would like to participate or have further questions, please reach out to Sharon Bower at sharonb@suicidepreventionaust.org.
