WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I CALL THE G’DAY LINE?


 1. You will be greeted. Upon calling G’day line, you are greeted with recorded
    message explaining the purpose of the service and how it works.
 2. We will determine your eligibility. You are then welcomed by a trained
    telephone support volunteer who will determine your eligibility by asking
    for some basic information. No personally identifiable information is
    actively captured by this service. If you’re a returning caller, we’ll skip
    this step.
 3. We’ll engage with you in conversation. You may feel a bit nervous to start a
    conversation or you may not know what to say, and that’s OK. Our volunteers
    are trained in how to engage in conversation and share useful information,
    offer support and if you wish, guidance on how to access local programs and
    services.
 4. We can share information about specialised care services. If our volunteer
    detects that you might need additional assistance for grief and loss, crisis
    intervention, or mental health support, they will share with you the
    specialised care services that you can connect with, such as Griefline’s
    helpline, Lifeline, or SANE. They can also transfer your call to a
    supervisor if needed.
 5. Call the G’day Line whenever you need to have a chat. You are welcome to
    call the service again during the operating hours of 8am to 8pm, 7 days a
    week.

FEEL EMOTIONALLY SAFE, SUPPORTED AND VALUED.
