Important things to keep in mind:

  • Services vary by region: Support services can differ between states and territories. What's available in cities might not be the same in rural or remote areas.
  • Check before you reach out: Organisations sometimes change their contact details or services. A quick visit to their website ensures you have the latest information.
  • Your safety comes first: If you or someone you care about is in immediate danger, please call 000 right away.
  • This isn't an endorsement: These resources are listed to inform, not to recommend. Trust your own judgment about what feels right for you.


Make this list your own:

  • Add local finds: Ask your GP, school counsellor, community centre, or local council about services in your area.
  • Keep it current: Services and contact details can change. Bookmark this page and check back periodically for updates.
  • Listen to your needs: If something doesn't feel right for you, that's okay. Keep exploring until you find the support that truly resonates.


We hope this helps you build a support system that feels safe, personal, and truly yours.
