A Lifeline for the Hunter

Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter has been operating a 24 Hour Telephone Counselling Service in the Hunter since 1966. The service provides the opportunity for people to reach out and speak to another person knowing that they will be heard, treated respectfully and with full anonymity and confidentiality. Our unique position as the "ears" of Newcastle and the Hunter allows us to identify and react to the specific needs of our community.

As an extension of our crisis telephone counselling service and in response to the needs that we have identified in our community, Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter provides Personal Counselling, Financial and Gambling Counselling as well as Community Education Programs designed to enhance living skills and improve self-confidence.

Jesmond Shop Opening 25th August 2009

In what is believed to be a first for any Lifeline Centre in Australia, Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter has opened a Lifeline shop in a Stockland mall.
The new shop on the Gallery level at Stockland Jesmond has been stocked with pre-loved clothing donated by our generous local community as well as brand new items at discounted prices. There is something for everyone including handbags, ties, jewellery and clothing for men, women and kids starting from as little as 50c. Proceeds from the Jesmond shop and the seven other Lifeline shops in the Hunter directly support Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter’s 24 Hr Telephone Counselling Service, a service that has been in operation since 1966. The other Lifeline shops are located at Cardiff, Islington, Maitland, Mayfield, Muswellbrook, Toronto and Wallsend.
