Kids Help Line

Kids Helpline is Australia's only free, confidential and anonymous, 24-hour telephone and online counselling service specifically for young people aged up to 25. Counsellors respond to more than 10,000 calls each week about issues ranging from relationship breakdown and bullying to sexual abuse, homelessness, suicidal thoughts, and drug and alcohol usage.

Kids Helpline is primarily funded from the revenue-raising activities of BoysTown through its lotteries. BoysTown and Kids Helpline are initiatives of the De La Salle Brothers. Kids Help Line is also supported by their corporate sponsor Optus, State and Federal funding, and through individual donations, fundraising events, trusts and funds.

Kids Helpline provide telephone and online councelling services.

Phone counselling is available on a freecall number: "1800 55 1800"

Online counselling is available at selected times through the Kids Helpline website and via email.
