Volunteer as a Telephone Crisis Supporter

The Lifeline 13 11 14 Crisis Support Line is possible only because of the selfless commitment of our volunteers but we need more people from our community to join these volunteers.

Becoming a Telephone Crisis Support Worker is rewarding but also requires training and commitment.  Here at Lifeline North Coast we run regular student intakes throughout the year and it is a requirement to watch a CSWT information session before you can apply.

Our volunteer Crisis Supporters are currently responding to one call every 30 seconds and we need help from our community to make a difference.But
