In a step towards tackling the crisis, chief executive of the National Mental Health Commission Christine Morgan has been named Australia's national suicide prevention adviser.
"Suicide takes far too many Australians, devastating families and local communities," Mr Morrison said in a statement on Monday.
"One life lost to suicide is one too many, which is why my government is working towards a zero suicide goal."
