Get Help
When you are experiencing a mental health condition, or supporting someone who is, access to the right help is important!
You are not alone.
There is help available.
For the everyday Australian, it can be challenging to know what services there are and how to find them. It can also change depending on where you live. We have tried to make this easier by explaining the options and providing phone numbers where you can talk to a real person in each State and Territory. Feel free to explore the service options or if you are more of a “talk to a real person” type, click on the State or Territory you live in and have a chat with someone who is experienced and can help you get the service or support you need.
