ABOUT CRISIS SUPPORT SERVICES
Crisis Support delivers our 13 11 14 service - a nationally-routed crisis support number, available every day of the year, from any location in Australia. It is available to anyone - regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.
Somewhere in Australia there is a new call to Lifeline every 32 seconds. Last year, more than 55,000 Western Australians contacted us for support via the 13 11 14 service. Many were after advice or self-help information for friends and family. Others were reaching out for someone to listen to their concerns. Typically, callers in crisis find that painful changes or problems are increasing their distress and overwhelming their capacity to cope.
