N2 - Initial evidence in 2020 suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in an increased suicide rate in Australia (Clapperton et al., 2021). However, many surveillance systems for suicide using coroner’s records or hospitalisation data might not well represent actual suicide rates due to prolonged time in determining sui-cide intent (De Leo et al., 2010). In addition, these data also overlooked the non-hospitalised cases, which might underestimate the disease burden.
