Here's a breakdown of the relevant parts of the law:

What you can't be prosecuted for

You cannot be criminally charged for attempting suicide or for surviving one. It's not an offence in any state or territory.

You also can't be found guilty of murder or manslaughter for having attempted suicide or being part of a suicide pact (if you survive).
This is for Australia where I'm from, I'm not sure what the laws are elsewhere.

there's more to law than criminal law, I'm just saying legal systems get involved

When we say something is illegal we usually tend to mean by common parlance that its a criminal act. Again , this is Australia in talking about, i have no idea how it is where you are or elsewhere
