About the organisation
Lifeline provides all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services (suicidal thoughts or attempts, personal crisis, anxiety, depression, loneliness, abuse and trauma, stresses from work, family or society, and self-help information for friends and family). Founded in 1963, the service was originally a 24 hour phone support line (13 11 14). Services and resources are now provided through phone, face-to-face, and online mediums.
Lifeline is a national not-for-profit organisation whose services are now made possible through the efforts of around 900 employees and 9,000 volunteers, operating from around 50 service locations and some 230 retail locations nationwide. Somewhere in Australia there is a new call to Lifeline every minute.
