Why Volunteer

Without our volunteers Lifeline Tasmania would not exist! 

Our more than 400 plus volunteers are the backbone of our organisation and play a vital role in suicide awareness and prevention throughout Tasmania. 

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience in itself, but there are other benefits associated with becoming a Lifeline Volunteer:

  • You'll be joining an established and highly respected community of more than 400 like-minded volunteers
  • We'll provide you with the tools and support you need to make a positive difference from day one
  • Volunteering has been shown to have a positive effect on the volunteer's mental and physical well-being
  • Lifeline Tasmania is a great place to forge new friendships and expand your social circle
  • Volunteering can be a great way to learn new skills and gain valuable work experience
  • Volunteering can also be a way of contributing your skills and knowledge in a meaningful and rewarding way.

At Lifeline Tasmania we value diversity in our workforce and within our volunteer team, we encourage applications from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, various ages, or people with mental and physically disabilities.
