For more than 35 years Lifeline Canberra has been offering crisis telephone counselling to the people of Canberra and the surrounding region.

Approximately 200 trained volunteer telephone councellors dedicate their time to fill shifts ensuring Lifeline phones can be answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Lifeline’s mission is ‘to enhance the well-being of the community through the provision of counselling and counselling related services.’ The core of Lifeline’s services is a 24 hour telephone counselling service provided by trained volunteer counsellors.

Lifeline Canberra offers a number of services and community resources to help with a range of personal issues including crisis telephone services, gambling care, Canberra Emergency Accommodation Service, Clubcare, suicide prevention, training in telephone counselling and the LYNX Youth Services arm of Lifeline Canberra.

As part of our ongoing service to the community, Eastlake Football Club along with more than 20 other Canberra Clubs and ClubsACT have joined forces with Lifeline and signed a Heads of Agreement contract ensuring all participating venues offer a responsible environment in which their patrons gamble.

This new approach to problem gambling services, called Clubcare, is helping to ensure that anyone who chooses to gamble can do so within their budged and in a safe and enjoyable way.

If you, a friend or a relative have a problem with gambling, call Lifeline on (02) 6247 0655 during business hours to arrange to speak to a Clubcare counselor.

In addition to talking to a counselor, Clubcare can arrange to talk to family members through this difficult time in addition to providing financial counseling services.

Clubcare signage can be seen around Eastlake Football Club providing new information about problem gambling and how to stay in control.

In addition to Eastlake Football Club’s participation in the Clubcare program, G-Line (NSW) is a confidential, anonymous and free counseling service. G-Line can be contacted on 1800 633 635.
