Lifeline Brisbane is a Christian, charitable organisation constitutionally linked to the Uniting Church of Australia and serving the total community. The organisation of Lifeline began in 1963 in Sydney and rapidly spread to Brisbane. There are thirty-five centres around Australia and 212 centres embracing twelve nations.
