The aftercare offered to someone following a suicidal crisis was woefully lacking only 10 years ago in Australia. Beyond Blue, along with an entire ecosystem of philanthropic support, community members, government and primary health networks tackled the issue in 2014 and developed the Way Back program. Earlier this year, the successful scheme was handed over to federal and state governments to run, with more than $150 million in funding, called Universal Aftercare. Ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10 October, we look at how it all came together.

A recent survey carried out by the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) painted a worrying picture of how Australian athletes are faring just nine years out from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In this opinion piece, ASF CEO Patrick Walker (pictured) writes about the opportunity for donors to support young sportspeople in a similar way to the traditional funder support for young people pursing artistic careers. |
