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.
Lifeline is part of an international network,
and through its affiliation with LifeLine International
has Centres in nineteen countries. Lifeline is
also a member of the Volunteer Emotional Support
Helplines (VESH) network. This network of Volunteer
Helplines provides services in 61 countries around
the world.
