About Us

OUTLine NZ provides a free, confidential and non-judgemental telephone counselling service. We are here to listen, provide information and to help you with your issues.

You do not have to be in a crisis situation to call us. All sorts of people call us for all sorts of reasons - loneliness and isolation, sexuality and sexual healthy, relationships and meeting people, STIs and HIV, legal and ethical issues, and many more.

This help line is staffed by self-accepting GLBTT people who have trained to help others over the phone in issues around sexual identity.

From the group's inception in 1972, its main focus has been the Telephone Help Line, originally Gayline, but since 1982 has been Gay/Lesbian Line.

At present the group has over 70 active telephone volunteers who have all had good basic training and undertaken ongoing training and supervision. A few of these are women, but we are always looking to increase the number of women in the group. General Manager is responsible for administration, recruitment, training and supervision. All staff - voluntary or paid - are GLBTT.

We are always looking for new members, so go to the Volunteering page to find out how you can help.
