Give the Gift of Connection this Christmas

This Christmas, many Tasmanians could spend the season feeling isolated, overwhelmed or alone. Your donation to Lifeline Tasmania can help ensure there is connection, compassion and someone to turn to. 

Every contribution helps us continue our work across the state, providing support, companionship and crisis care to those who need it. 

We’re here to help all Tasmanians

At Lifeline Tasmania, our strength emanates from our local community.

With a dedicated team of volunteers and staff, Lifeline Tasmania exists to prevent suicide and build resilient communities.

 

Funding and donations keep the lights on, but it is our people and volunteers that are the life that keeps the heart of Lifeline beating.

Applications for 2025 are now open

Support comes in many forms

Did you know that Lifeline is there for you no matter what you are going through? You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out for help.

 

Perhaps you aren’t a fan of talking on the phone? We get it, and there’s an option for you. No judgement.

Chats

The Chats program offers a variety of services to Tasmanian's. These vary from group and individual social support through to allied health - social work and counselling services. There is something for everyone in the Chats program.

Volunteer with us

Tasmanians from all walks of life

Lifeline's volunteers are our backbone of the organisation. We simply would not exist without them. With over 300 volunteers statewide across nearly all programs, volunteers provide the skills and support to drive our vision of a resilient Tasmania free of suicide.

Why volunteer? The ladies I work with are funny, caring and compassionate.

 

They all make it a joy to work there and I thoroughly enjoy every minute of my time.

Program: Chats

Why volunteer? I truly love and appreciate what I do.
I always wanted to choose something that keeps me out and about, but more importantly helping to bring some happiness and fun into people's lives, who so deserve it. I truly think of Chats and its participants as an extended family.

Why volunteer? At the time I was new to the area so I wanted to meet new people and get involved with social activities. Volunteering seemed like a good place to start and it turned out to be a great decision. Making an older friend who has a
wealth of wisdom and life experience is enriching on many levels.

Why volunteer?  Volunteering does not pay the bills, but as you get older, you see the
benefits of volunteering, of giving back and listening to people with a positive regard. It’s a privilege
to volunteer in this program.
