(2) Nil.
(3) Biannual domain registration and annual hosting fees only.
(4) The website is currently under review.

pledge partnership was an initiative under the previous suicide prevention
strategy. This initiative is being superseded by the development of ''WA
Workplace Standards for Mental Health: Suicide Prevention'' under
the new statewide suicide strategy, ''Suicide Prevention 2020: Together
we can save lives.'' In May 2016, the Ministerial Council for Suicide
Prevention facilitated a high-level industry and workplace roundtable forum,
attended by 50 Western Australian workplace leaders. The forum was designed to
introduce, discuss and generally raise awareness about mental health and
suicide prevention strategies in workplaces.
