Lifeline Australia
 Australia  |  Community/Family

To provide opportunities for people to benefit from and contribute to quality services in local communities across Australia. These opportunities link people with counselling, personal support, self-care resources, information about community services and training.

Lifeline was founded in 1963 by the late Reverend Dr Sir Alan Walker, after he received a call by a distressed man, who three days later took his own life. Determined not to let loneliness, isolation or anxiety be the cause of other deaths, Sir Alan launched a crisis line, which operated out of the Methodist Central Mission in Sydney. Lifeline’s services now operate from 60 locations nationally, with a presence in every State and Territory within Australia. Lifeline is part of an international network, and through its affiliation with LifeLine International has Centres in nineteen countries. Lifeline is also a member of theVolunteer Emotional Support Helplines (VESH) network. This network of Volunteer Helplines provides services in 61 countries around the world.
