Welcome to the Lifeline Australia national website.

This website will provide you with a glimpse of the services that Lifeline provides to the Australian Community. This website has been designed to address three different areas which may be of interest to our visitors; help seeker information, details on how to support Lifeline and general information about Lifeline. I hope that you find what you are looking for and learn something new and of value for yourself or others.

One thing I am certain you will discover, as you navigate your way through this site, is that Lifeline is a celebration of community spirit and a community leader that provides the framework for people to give and receive care that is within the reach of all Australians. You will discover that we train people to care competently for themselves and others in times of crisis, and that we build quality services based on the needs of local communities around the telephone and other communication technologies.

I hope that as you learn more about Lifeline and that you will be inspired by what we do and want to join in and do what you can to assist Lifeline’s current work and future growth.
