Content note: This post discusses mental health and su***de.
In the 2024 Causes of Death report (Australia Bureau of Statistics), males accounted for 76.5% of total deaths by su***de. In remote Australia, su***de rates ranged from 20.5 to 24.6 deaths per 100,000 people, the highest in five years and more than double the rate seen in cities.
This confronting reality underscores the importance of open conversations and community support. This Men's Health Week, we've partnered with The Outback Mind Foundation to host screenings for "When the Dust Settles", a powerful documentary sharing real-life stories of men and the impact of su***de on families and communities in its aftermath.
Four public screenings were held across Moranbah, Blackwater and Dysart, including one at Moranbah State High School. Each event brought people together over a Civeo-catered barbeque under the stars, creating a space for connection and conversation.
Civeo is committed to supporting the wellbeing of our residents and the wider community. Thank you Aaron Schultz, the Isaac Regional Council, local community groups, school organisers and all participants for this meaningful event.
