In an effort to tackle increasing rates of suicide threats, Ipswich police have begun working in partnership with nurses on triple-0 calls related to mental health.
This comes after an increasing number of people threatening to commit suicide in the city, leaving local police desperate for a change.
So far, the scheme has eased the strain on ambulance responders and hospital patient numbers by 90 per cent, as people seen by the nurses are able to be effectively treated at home.
If you or anybody you know is at risk, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
