Lifeline

Lifeline is national charity providing all Australians experiencing emotional distress with access to crisis support and suicide prevention services.

Lifeline is committed to empowering Australians to be suicide-safe through connection, compassion, and hope. Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone.

Lifeline's telephone counselling service is available 24 hours a day to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing a crisis or longs to be heard.

In addition to the telephone crisis support service, Lifeline runs confidential web chat (7pm-midnight AEST) and text (12pm-midnight AEST) services 7 days a week for those who may feel more comfortable seeking help in these ways.

Lifeline is also there to support family and carers.

Lifeline's text service can be accessed by sending an SMS to: 0477 131 114.

Anyone living in Australia can access the service.

There are no fees associated with Lifeline's crisis support services.
