Frank began his Lifeline WA story in 2002 and was recently awarded Lifeline WA’s Golden Wattle Award for his outstanding contribution to the 13 11 14 Crisis Support line. Frank started volunteering for Lifeline WA following an incredibly painful experience in his own life and feeling that he had nobody to talk to about it. 18 years later, Frank continues to selflessly dedicate his time to ensure that no one else will be in this position and that everyone has someone to talk to in times of crisis.
Frank always has a word of encouragement for his fellow Telephone Crisis Support Volunteers and embodies all of the values that Lifeline WA uphold. Frank has answered a staggering 9,200 + calls to 13 11 14 and will have undoubtedly saved many lives.
