The Living Stone Foundation, Inc.T/A Lifeline WA is a Christian-based not-for-profit organisation that was founded in the mid-1980's by Baptist Minister Graham Mabury in response to community needs identified during his Nightline program on Radio 6PR.

In 1994, the Foundation was accredited by Lifeline Australia to operate as a Lifeline Centre in WA (the 41st centre to begin operation in Australia). In June 2003, Lifeline WA opened its first regional sub-centre in Karratha called Lifeline Pilbara. A second sub-centre, Lifeline Peel, commenced operations on 31 January 2006.

With a dedicated Volunteer Team of more than 350 supported efficiently by a paid Team of just 14 FTE, Lifeline WA's specialist services are accessed more than 40,000 times annually by the people of Western Australia. These services include 24-hour crisis Telephone Counselling; Lifeline LivingWorks Suicide Intervention Training; Individuals, Couples & Families Counselling; and Dads@Lifeline.

Funding
With minimal government funding, the majority of Lifeline WA's operational costs are met by supporter donations and corporate sponsorship. Donations and sponsorships are supplemented by the income generated from training courses and the Op Shop Treasures in Kelmscott.
