WALK WITH LIFELINE MELBOURNE

Join us on Sunday 14 September to commemorate World Suicide Prevention Day (Weds 10 Sept). Together we will walk and remember those we’ve lost to suicide: to remember a loved one, as a personal tribute for a friend or family member, or to show your support for Australians experiencing emotional distress or mental illness. 

Lifeline Melbourne answers almost 35,000 calls each year, from people experiencing crisis. Many of them are thinking about taking their own lives. Tragically over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life, and over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide each year. These people are our family, friends and loved ones. Should you choose, you can raise funds for Lifeline Melbourne to provide crisis support and suicide prevention services to save lives

Together we can ensure no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

JOIN OUR CENTRE WALK: It’s OK to Talk About Suicide

DATE: Sunday 14 September

TIME: 9am – 11am

LOCATION: Flagstaff Gardens (Lawn 7), 309–311 William St, West Melbourne VIC 3003

INFORMATION: This event includes reading of a Memorial Roll, a 1km walk around Flagstaff Gardens, and an opportunity to tie a ribbon to commemorate your loved one. You may wish to complete additional laps up to the 9km walk. Hosted by Lifeline Melbourne and Support After Suicide. When you register (link below), you can also provide a name for the Memorial Roll should you wish to do so.

Out of the Shadows Walk t-shirt! 

When you raise just $39 - the cost of answering one life-saving call to Lifeline - you’ll receive our exclusive 2025 Out of the Shadows t-shirt to wear proudly (and supporter kit).

Wear it as a symbol of your commitment to raise awareness, overcome stigma and prevent further deaths from suicide. (Details after registration)
