Suicide was decriminalized in Australia primarily to address the perception of mental health issues as criminal behavior rather than health conditions. By removing legal penalties for attempted suicide, the focus shifted towards providing support and treatment for individuals in crisis, promoting mental health awareness, and reducing stigma. The change reflected a broader societal understanding of mental health and the need for compassionate care rather than punishment. This shift aimed to improve the overall response to mental health issues and save lives.
