One of Australia’s largest suicide helplines is trialing a virtual counsellor as the first point of call for people accessing the site, in a bid to make the service faster and easier to access.

Created by digital counselling service provider, On the Line, “Claire” uses scripts and conversation prompts on the Suicide Call Back Service, asking multiple questions and answers, to figure what risk level the caller is, and where to direct them on the website.

On the Line CEO Kim O’Neill told Pro Bono News the scripts Claire followed were created by counsellors and psychologists under a standard counselling framework.
