Suicide in ageing By Jacqui Tibbits, Director Consultivation  Today is RUOK? day - a national campaign to reach out to others, to start a conversation, to check in. On this day, I would like to draw attention to suicide rates in our ageing population. Touted as a young person’s activity, the reality of suicide in older people is frightening.
According to the ABS (2014) per 100,000 people, men over the age of 85 years are more likely to die by suicide than Australians of any other age group followed by men in the 80-84 year age group. Women aged 80 to 84 years have the highest rate of suicide for females from the age of 15 years onwards per 100,000 people. |
