Lights, camera, action! This week Lifeline staff became TV stars as a film crew rolled into town to shoot a film about the Lifeline emergency response service.

When an alarm is triggered it instantly connects the individual to an experienced control centre operator, who will take the most appropriate action to help, which could be to contact the emergency services, a family member or neighbour or to send a mobile warden to assist.
