Speaker 2: that heavily invested in it emotionally.

43
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: It was actually really good, wasn't it?

44
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760

Speaker 2: every year and we raise money for a very special cause, Lifeline.

74
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: We are looking after Lifeline this year and we've got

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: the CEO of Lifeline on the line now, Colin, welcome

Speaker 2: you so much for the work that you do. I

80
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: feel like at the moment, over the last few days, Colin,

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: Lifeline has been very important to a lot of families.

82
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: We've lost, well, there's been a few AFL footballers on

86
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, look thanks, thanks city and yeah, look at has

87
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: been in our thoughts and go out obviously to the families.

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: And it's interesting that the demand for the Lifeline services.

89
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I think it's been really well documented. On the back

90
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: of COVID the demand went up quite significantly and then

91
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: really hasn't slowed down from there, and then in fact

92
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: on the back of cost of bleeding warnly some of

93
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: the issues going up last year in twenty twenty four,

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: we had of our top ten busiest days in the

95
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: sixty year history of Lifeline.

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: So many calls pattern.

97
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about four and a half thousand contacts we

98
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: had for the one day which was our Colin the.

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: Mouey that we're hoping to raise from this event. Where

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: is it sorely needed within life run Yeah.

101
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Look, look, as I said, in a general sense, we

102
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: just need to make sure that we're there for everyone,

103
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: but specifically with youth. We introduced a text service during COVID.

104
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Obviously younger people aren't necessarily going to get on the phone,

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: so we really want to invest more in that area

106
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: and make sure we have workforce there. And the second

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: part is we really want to build a connected sector

108
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: where if someone contacts Lifeline, we're then able to seamlessly

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: refer then the next level of care. So that involves

110
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: an investment infrastructures where we can make sure the help

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: seeker ends up at the right place.

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: It's fantastic work. Colin, thank you so much, and thank

113
