About Lifeline’s Telephone Counselling Service
Since the creation of Lifeline with the telephone counselling service in 1963, the mission of providing telephone access for crisis support, suicide intervention and community services remains unchanged.
Changing technology has, however, provided improved access to these services.
Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter (LLNH) commenced telephone counselling in 1966 and has since expanded the service it provides to the community.
LLNH is part of the national telephone counselling service that operates twenty four hours per day, seven days per week along with 41 other centres and a number of sub centres situated across Australia. Lifeline also has an international based service with a number of centres in different countries.
Being a Lifeline Volunteer Telephone Counsellor
As a value’s based organisation, our values and mission inform our services and activities within the organisation and the community. Therefore Telephone Counsellors are required to adhere to Lifeline’s values and mission.
Inherent in the role of a Telephone Counsellor is their ability to be non-judgemental, empathetic and respectful in connecting with callers. These qualities are sustained by the personal attributes that the Telephone Counsellor brings to the service.
Volunteering can be a valuable and enriching way to contribute to your community whilst learning more about yourself personally. It can be a great way to up-skill in order to re-join the workforce after a break. It can be a means to learn skills, to meet new people and at the same time, find friendship and fellowship with other Telephone Counsellors.
Volunteering can provide on-the-job training for job seekers or offer experience in a busy working environment. Lifeline can also provide a productive and enjoyable opportunity for retirees.
Don’t lose those skills! Share them by joining our happy Lifeline family and at the same time give something back to the community!
