Mental health and suicide prevention service Lifeline Australia has registered its highest volume of calls ever, as Australians around the country endure continuous disruptions to daily life through COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.

Staffed by volunteers, the 58-year-old organisation offers a 24-hour telephone crisis support service to help Australian’s cope with issues such as mental health, emotional issues, and potential suicide.
