Lifeline Canberra

Lifeline Canberra exists to support people in crisis and save the lives of those experiencing thoughts of suicide.

Our highly skilled volunteers provide 24/7 support via our local crisis support service on 13 11 14. Telephone crisis support workers listen with care and acceptance, whatever the circumstance.

We lose a Canberran every week to suicide. Each day our staff and volunteers fight to save the next life.

Lifeline Canberra is a leading charity in the ACT, setting the benchmark for suicide prevention and community-wide awareness for mental health advocacy.

Our annual fundraising event program has become part of the fabric on the region with our Bookfairs attracting over 50,000 people each year.
