Do you have an old couch you no longer need? How about some books, clothes or other bric-a-brac? Donate those items to help save a life! Funds from the sale of your donation in a Lifeline Shop go directly to Lifeline programs that help people in need, including our 24-hour 13 11 14 Crisis Support Line. As a bonus, donating to Lifeline can help to save the planet by giving a second life to your pre-loved items and keeping them out of landfill.
Where to donate
It’s easy to make furniture, books and clothes donations. Here’s how.
- Drop items off in person: Find your nearest Lifeline op shop and bring your items by during trading hours. Please do not leave items outside the shop. They may be damaged or stolen.

- Drop off at a donation bin or hub: Clothes donations and small household goods can be dropped at one of our donation bins (donation hubs). Please remember that your donation must fit in the bin. If you come across a full bin, please do not leave donations outside of the bin. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to use these items. It is also illegal.
