Help Is Available Around the Clock
Launch library · evergreen read
One of the hardest parts of a difficult night is the sense that everything is closed, that nobody could possibly be available at that hour. In reality, support in Australia does not keep office hours. There are services built specifically for the quiet, difficult hours when the rest of the world seems to be asleep.
Lifeline answers calls every hour of every day on 13 11 14, staffed by people trained to listen without judgement. The Suicide Call Back Service, reachable on 1300 659 467, offers ongoing telephone and online counselling for anyone affected by suicidal thoughts, at any time that suits.
Knowing these services exist before you need them can make reaching out easier when a hard moment arrives. Lifeline can be reached on 13 11 14, and the Suicide Call Back Service is available on 1300 659 467, both ready to answer at three in the afternoon or three in the morning alike.
