committee meets ahead of another busy year
The TSPN executive committee met in February ahead of the first community meeting for 2025. ‘We are excited about the year ahead and increasing our presence in the local community.’
‘2024 was a busy year behind the scenes’ says President Michelle. The Network became an incorporated association. It registered as a charity and obtained an ABN among other things.
The TSPN wish to thank Headspace and North & West Remote Health for their valuable support. Headspace continue to provide a meeting place, which they have done for a couple of years and NWRH provided auspice of the TSPN throughout 2024 while we incorporated.
A big thankyou to two great local organizations.
Michelle said everyone in Townsville is welcome to get involved in suicide prevention in their local community. Come along to the TSPN community meetings and join the Network. Meetings are currently held on the third Thursday of each month at 1PM and everyone is welcome.

We acknowledge all people who have had any direct experience of suicide including those who have attempted suicide or those that have been impacted or bereaved by suicide.
