What is Crisis Supporter Voices?

Crisis Supporter Voices (CS Voices) is a new way for Crisis Supporters (from Voice and Text and Chat) to share their experience as a volunteer to continuously improve the Lifeline service.

  • Your experiences of what makes crisis support meaningful and sustainable and the day to day of volunteering are important for us to hear. CS Voices creates a space for you to share experiences in defined topic areas and for Lifeline Australia to use the input to guide improvements.

     

    By getting involved you could do things like:
     

    • Share what helps you feel supported in your role 

    • Help test improvements and give feedback before they’re rolled out 

    • Contribute to creating even better experiences for help seekers across Australia 

     

    This is a chance to share your unique experiences as a volunteer.
     

How we’ll work together

Some topics will be in early, exploratory stages. Others will involve testing solutions and providing feedback to improve usability for crisis supporters.
 

Engagement activities may include

Who can take part?

We’re beginning with volunteer Crisis Supporters for Voice or Text and Chat, contributing outside their shifts. To begin with, this won’t include paid crisis supporters or paid staff who also do crisis support shifts. 

In order to create a diverse pool, we ask questions in the EOI about your experiences, background and demographics. This is in line with Lifeline’s privacy policy, using personal information for the purposes of research
