Rev Sir Alan Walker is best known as the founder of the telephone counselling service, Lifeline. It was the first service of its kind and led the way for telephone counselling and telehealth services around the world.
He ran Wesley Mission for 20 years and was quite a media personality in his day with columns in the Fairfax Press and a very popular TV show.
His ethics were so highly regarded that the Governor-General, Bill Hayden called him ‘the conscience of the nation’.
