Important update:

A Tasmanian Lifeline
(ATL 1800 98 44 34)
service closure

As part of Tasmania’s mental health reform and the move towards a more streamlined, single point of entry for mental health support, the A Tasmanian Lifeline (ATL 1800 98 44 34) service will close on 18 December 2026. This service was established during the COVID-19 pandemic to assist those experiencing social isolation and loneliness.

Importantly, this change affects only the ATL service. Lifeline Tasmania remains committed to supporting the Tasmanian community, and the national Lifeline 13 11 14 crisis support service will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Lifeline Tasmania’s other services, including StandBy Support After Suicide, CHATS, the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme, training and support services, and Op Shops, will also continue unchanged.

From 18 December 2026, people seeking mental health support can contact Access Mental Health on 1800 332 388 or Medicare Mental Health on 1800 595 212 for help navigating and connecting with local services.
