Thank you for your interest in contributing to the design of an aftercare service specific for LGBTIQA+ communities. The surveys for this project are now closed.

We invite those of you with personal experience to complete the individual survey below. This includes:

• LGBTIQA+ individuals with lived and living experience of suicidal distress
• family members, carers and supporters of LGBTIQA+ individuals who have experienced suicidal distress. This includes people who have been bereaved by suicide.

If you would like to complete a survey from a service provider perspective click here. If you would prefer to not be limited in your answers, complete an open text survey click here.

What does the survey involve?

The survey includes information that we've heard so far from co-designers and service providers. The survey then asks specific questions we still need answers to (e.g. how would you like to find out about a service like this?). The survey also includes some questions about you, to help us understand who we are receiving information from. Most of these personal questions are optional.

What will we do with your answers?

All the results from the surveys on this platform will be de-identified (this means they won't be attributable to you). All the responses to these surveys will be synthesised and analysed to help develop the final service model to be submitted to the Victorian Department of Health. We may pull quotes from the survey to include in this report. Quotes will be short and will not be attributed to individuals.

What is the structure of the survey?

The survey is structured according to the different steps of a person's journey through a service. This is often called a 'client journey'. The diagram below overviews the stages of a person's journey. This is the way the survey is structured.
