Abstract
Suicide rates in rural and remote communities in Australia are significantly higher than in urban areas, with incidence increasing with remoteness. Contributing factors include limited access to mental health services, social isolation, and economic challenges, leading to lower diagnosis and treatment rates for mental disorders, especially among men, youth, and Indigenous populations. Community-based suicide prevention initiatives aim to reduce barriers to mental health care and enhance awareness and support for those in need. This scoping review examines the impacts and outcomes of these initiatives in rural and remote Australia, identifying evidence-based practices, knowledge gaps, and informing future research.
