Our Christian volunteers are trained to provide a listening ear and avenue for prayer and encouragement across the numerous life journeys callers can bring to Careline.
Careline is not a qualified Counselling service, however we do provide direct referral services to a range of Christian and secular support services including 24 hour crisis support services, counselling, family and relationship support as well as financial support, referrals to suitable Churches in a callers local area and other support services. Careline is backed by Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) https://ccaa.net.au/ and by a number of Churches.
Our motto is Care, Listen, Refer and Pray and we will offer Bible readings as suitable to the callers situation for their encouragement and edification.
Become A Careline Volunteer
Careline volunteers are willing listeners, able to pray for others and share the hope & love they have in Jesus with those who are interested to find out more.
While Careline Volunteers display some of the same skills as counsellors, we are not a qualified counselling service. We provide all the training free of charge through our three-hour training morning on selected Saturday’s as well as one-on-one Mentoring and Webinar based training sessions to continually up-skill our volunteers.
