“Thank you, lady… whoever you are… you have no idea how much your voice, your words, and your strength to keep me going helped last night. With everything in my heart — thank you! My husband thanks you, and my children and grandchildren thank you!”
Every day, our local crisis supporters provide that connection to people across the Coffs Coast and Mid-North NSW who are experiencing distress, isolation, or suicidal thoughts. Our work is part of a national effort to prevent suicide, but the impact is felt right here — in our towns, our neighbourhoods, and our homes.
We are proud to be one of 41 Lifeline Centres across Australia, and we work closely with Lifeline Australia and our fellow centres to deliver the 13 11 14 crisis line, training programs, and community-based mental health support.
Our incredible local volunteers, including trained Crisis Supporters and retail workers.
A small, dedicated team of staff.
Strong community support through donations, events, and partnerships.
Together, we answer thousands of calls for help every year. We also provide training to individuals and organisations, empowering more people in our region to recognise the signs of crisis and respond with care.
We are united in our vision of an Australia free of suicide, and our commitment to ensuring no one in our community has to face their darkest moments alone.
When you support Lifeline North Coast — by volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness — you become part of a life-saving mission.

It’s not that I don’t think of him (I do, every day). I’m just trying to avoid the pain that is now attached to those memories. I have to remind myself that this pain was not there at the time these memories were made though.
