WSBC Charity Partner Parramatta Mission encourages you to become a volunteer. Full training provided. 

Lifeline Western Sydney is one of the largest centres accredited by Lifeline Australia to answer telephone crisis calls to 13 11 14, and is a service of UnitingCareMental Health.

We operate 24/7 and answer over 80,000 crisis calls per year from people of all ages who are in crisis due to a range of issues including:

• Suicidal thoughts

• Relationship difficulties

• Mental illness

• Domestic violence

• Addictive behaviour

• Social isolation 

• Disabilities

This service would not be possible without our friendly, caring team of dedicated volunteers. As the demand for the Lifeline telephone crisis service is continuing to grow, we are looking to expand the team.

We run courses throughout the year at our training centre at Parramatta. Thanks to grants, donations and our fundraising events, we offer this course at a greatly subsidised rate of only $890 (actual cost of the course is valued at approximately $3,500).

Because of our investment in students, we ask for a minimum 12 month commitment to doing fortnightly, 4 hour shifts at Lifeline Western Sydney (and we’d love it if you could stay longer!). 

We start courses all throughout the year
