Australia Crisis Support Directory
If you’re feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or alone, you deserve support that respects who you are. This page shares calm, practical options — including LGBTQIA+ peer support, youth options, and state-based crisis services.
If your brain feels overloaded, pick the easiest next step: call, text/chat, or ask someone to sit with you. You don’t have to explain everything.
Talk with an LGBTQIA+ peer supporter. You can be yourself — no judgement.
Tip: If words are hard, start with: “I’m LGBTQIA+ and I need support.”
If you need someone right now, these are common starting points.
If you’re a young person, or you’re supporting one, these options can be a good first step.
If there is violence, coercion, or sexual harm, you deserve urgent support and safety planning.
If you want local help (including in-person options), use the “Find support in my state” section below.
These links go to official state/territory mental health crisis contacts (or trusted government resource pages). If you want, we can later add extra LGBTQIA+ community services by state under each card.
If you want these buttons to link to your Australia Crisis Directory pages, paste your slugs here later:
