Beyond Blue Ltd

We all have good days and bad days. Then there are those days when something isn't quite right, you've got something on your mind, or things just seem too much. Whatever it may be, sharing the load with someone else can really help. So no matter who you are, or how you're feeling, you can talk it through with us.

Last year over 78,000 Australians contacted us about their concerns – both big and small – and you can too.

All calls and chats are one-on-one with a trained mental health professional, and completely confidential. Although we may ask for your first name and some general details, you can let us know if you’d like to remain anonymous.

Three ways to contact us:

1. Call 1300 22 4636 | 24 hours a day | 7 days a week

2. Chat online 3pm to 12am (AEST) | 7 days a week | How it works

3. Email us | Get a response in 24 hours | Email at: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/

• Give us a call any time of the day or night – select from the voice menu or simply hold on the line to talk with a trained mental health professional. We'll be there to listen, offer support and point you in the right direction for the cost of a local call (could be more from mobiles).
