WHO ARE LIFELINE VOLUNTEER TELEPHONE COUNSELLORS?

Lifeline volunteer Telephone Counsellors (TC’s) can be your next door neighbour or your best friend. They are grocers, doctors, posties, librarians, mechanics, students, lawyers, builders, nurses, farmers or your children’s teacher.

Lifeline volunteer TC’s don’t talk about what they do, because maintaining anonymity is an important part of preserving Lifeline’s commitment to confidentiality.

HOW DO YOU BECOME A VOLUNTEER TC?

We have two intakes of recruits per year. Prior to each course an information evening is held and application forms are available on the night or can be posted to applicants on request. Applicants are then interviewed for selection as trainees.

The training course is for 16 weeks, one night per week plus two full Saturdays. Attendance at all training sessions is expected. Training as a TC is a journey of self discovery, a process that is challenging, exciting and fun.
