The New Zealand Suicide Prevention Action Plan 2013–2016 outlines a programme of actions that the Government will implement over the next four years. It is a cross-government Action Plan bringing together the work of eight agencies. The Action Plan builds on the previous action plan covering 2008–2012. Both action plans reflect the goals of the New Zealand Suicide Prevention Strategy 2006–2016.

The Action Plan includes actions designed to:

  • address the impact of suicide on families, whānau and communities by strengthening support for family, whānau and communities
  • build the evidence base, specifically around what works for Māori and Pasifika
  • extend existing services, specifically addressing geographical gaps in the coverage of services
  • strengthen suicide prevention targeted to high risk populations who are in contact with agencies.
