WOW. The response from around Australia has been incredible! Thousands of donations and messages of support have poured in from every corner of the country, and everyone here at Lifeline is feeling so grateful and humbled.
Thanks to you, Lifeline will be recruiting, training and retaining even more Crisis Supporters in 2022 to help meet the ever-growing demand for our crisis support and suicide prevention services.
We couldn’t be prouder than we are right now of the commitment of everyday Australians to be there for each other in their darkest moments. Thank you!

In just a few hours, we’ve smashed our initial target of $300,000. THANK YOU! We asked you to help us give back to our Crisis Supporters and you DID!
Our wonderful matching partners have just offered an additional $125,000 to make Lifeline’s Rays of Hope Giving Day bigger than ever!
So we now have a blue sky goal: $550,000. And every dollar donated from now until the end of the day will be DOUBLED. But we have to be quick because we only have today!

On Thursday, 24 March every donation to Lifeline will be matched for 24 HOURS ONLY.
Over the past few years, while the pandemic turned our world upside down, Lifeline’s incredible Crisis Supporters have offered rays of hope to more than one million Australians who would have otherwise faced their darkest moments alone.
On Thursday 24 March, Lifeline is asking the community to make a donation and have their gift matched thanks to the generosity of some very special matching partners: Domino’s registered charity Give for Good, and our generous friends who wish to remain anonymous.
Every dollar raised will provide rays of hope—helping Lifeline recruit, train and retain more dedicated Crisis Supporters.
The demand for crisis support has been staggering. Lifeline has received up to 3,700 calls a day—an increase of 61% from before the pandemic began.
While restrictions have eased, Australians are still dealing with the grief, loss and disruption that COVID-19 has caused. Many people are still struggling with their mental health, relationships, and income loss. We’re still picking up the pieces, and we will be for some time.
Please DONATE NOW… and watch your gift DOUBLE before your eyes!
We can’t do this without you!
