Lifeline - Keeping Queenslanders safe. Lifeline is committed to bringing hope to Australians doing it tough. A trusted national charity, we’re driven by the belief that Australian lives lost to suicide can be prevented. In Queensland we deliver our 24-hour 13 11 14 Lifeline Crisis Support line through 10 Lifeline centres – providing suicide prevention services with a non-judgemental and compassionate listening ear. Backed by more than 6000 volunteers, our network of 130 Lifeline retail shops sell new, donated and pre-loved goods to help fund our crisis support services. We also export to overseas communities, sell rags to industry and run our Lifeline Bookfest and other events to further support our services and help save lives.

The Townsville Lifeline Distribution Centre provides donated goods to all of the 10 retail shops in the Townsville region, these goods are then sold and all profits go towards our Lifeline 13 11 14 crisis support and suicide prevention number to support the community.

The volunteer position we have available would suit someone who is looking to give back to our community and who enjoys working in a friendly team environment.

We provide a friendly and safe workplace in an air-conditioned facility. The role of Electrical Tester is structured so you can work at their own pace. We provide full training for testing donated electrical goods with the flexibility to learn other tasks as well.

Tasks involved include: ▪ Test donated electrical goods using a Residual Current Device ▪ Determine what electrical goods are suitable for sale ▪ Clean and allocate electrical items to our retail shops
