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 gender idenitity, sexual health, relationships and meeting people, STIs and HIV, legal and ethical issues, and many more.
This help line is staffed by self-accepting GLBTTFIQQ 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 90 telephone volunteers who have all had good basic training and undertaken ongoing training and supervision. All staff - voluntary or paid - are GLBTTFIQQ.
We are always looking for new members, so go to the Volunteering page to find out how you can help.
