Dear Victorian Department of Health and Human Services,

Please can you provide me with the number of suicides that occurred in
Victoria for the last recorded year, as well as how many of the suicides
were male.

if you have information that shows the decline and fall of Victorian
suicides in the last decade, I would be most grateful.

Thank you for your time,

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Resnick

Dear Joshua,

I refer to your Freedom of Information request (F17/0687) received on the
17 May 2017 and a copy of recent correspondence sent to you acknowledging
your request and seeking the application fee attached here for your
reference:

The documents you are seeking are not held by the Victorian Department of
Health and Human Services.

I have been informed this information is publicly available and likely to
be held by the Australia Bureau of Statistics ([1]www.abs.gov.au) or the
Australian Institute of Health and Welfare ([2]www.aihw.gov.au).

As our agency does not hold the documents you wish to access you may wish
to withdraw your request by responding to this email and confirming you
would like to withdraw.

Alternatively, you could elect to continue with your request on the
understanding that you will receive a 'nil documents' response on the
basis that our agency does not hold the documents you wish to access.

I look forward to receiving your response about withdrawal.

Kind regards,

Authorised Officer
