Helping Australians reconnect.
We're ready for a cuppa and a conversation.
FriendLine is for anyone who needs to reconnect or just wants a chat.
All conversations with FriendLine are anonymous and our friendly volunteers are ready for a yarn and to share a story or two.
The Seniors Connected Phone Support Service is funded by the Federal Department of Social Services. All Australian seniors are welcome to call FriendLine for a friendly chat or more connection. We hope to hear from you!
Please note: FriendLine Chat will be operating Monday to Friday 6pm–8pm AEST from 25th July 2022
