Who are we?

After more than four decades of service to the Tasmanian community, Lifeline Tasmania remains steadfastly committed to our vision of a resilient Tasmania free of suicide.

Lifeline has been operating in Tasmania since 1973, commencing as two chapters (Lifeline North West and Lifeline Hobart) which merged in 2012 to form Lifeline Tasmania, we are now a single organisation incorporated in Tasmania, with state-wide reach and community connections.

Lifeline Tasmania’s values of Respect, Care and Support, Optimism, Inclusion and Social Leadership provide a framework of behaviours that guide the way we interact with each other, our clients and the community.
