Brief description Suicide has been estimated to cost Australia over $460 million/year. Rural suicide workers have mulitfaceted roles pivotal to their communities' social well being, yet suffer professional isolation and inadequate access to resources and expertise through geographic remoteness. Online technologies potentially offer effective support mechanisms. This research will increase fundamental knowledge by: * developing, implementing and rigorously evaluating the effectiveness and transferability of an innovative online model for professional support and expertise; and * systematically addressing the complex ethical, professional and technical issues associated with using online technology to assist suicide reduction.
