About us
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 – 44 with around 21,000 Australians affected by the death of someone to suicide every year. Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. These services include: • Telephone Crisis Line – 13 11 14 • Lifeline Text - 0477 13 11 14 • Lifeline Chat - www.lifeline.org.au/crisis-chat • Service Finder - free directory of local health and community services • DValert - Domestic Violence Response Training • Lifeline Centres nationwide provide specific services relevant to local communities. Our History Lifeline was founded in 1963 by the late Reverend Dr Sir Alan Walker, after he received a call by a distressed man, who three days later took his own life. Determined not to let loneliness, isolation or anxiety be the cause of other deaths, Sir Alan launched a crisis line, which operated out of the Methodist Central Mission in Sydney. Just a few days after it was first established Lifeline received over one hundred calls for help. Today, somewhere in Australia there is a new call to Lifeline’s 24 hour crisis line 13 11 14 every minute. As a charity we rely on the support of the community to support our life saving work. To find out more or to make a donation visit www.lifeline.org.au *Please note we are unable to provide crisis support on LinkedIn. For crisis support call 13 11 14, text 0477 13 11 14 or chat with us online at lifeline.org.au. Dial 000 if life is in danger.

Lifeline Australia reposted this
Get your 2025 calendar ready 📆 From Wednesday 4th - Thursday 26th of June, we will be pushing for better, together. Your goal for the challenge will be 3,214 push-ups, which sadly represents the number of people we lost to suicide last year. Every life lost matters. Many individuals and communities across Australia have felt the profound impact following a life lost to suicide. We deeply respect those people with a lived experience of suicide and value their voices. It’s more important than ever for all of us to prioritise our mental health, and to work together to change this statistic for the better. Let us know in the comments if you'll be joining the push for better in 2025. 3,214 push-ups in 23 days. Let's do this. Lifeline Australia | headspace
