Need to talk? 
1737 is free to call or text from any landline or mobile phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
It’s a new and easy way to access the existing National Telehealth Services provided through the Alcohol and Drug, Depression, and Gambling Helplines. These helplines will still be accessible through the same phone numbers, but 1737 creates a new front door.  Anyone can call or text 1737 for free at any time to access support from a trained counsellor. The same trained mental health counsellors that currently respond to calls, texts, webchat and emails across the National Telehealth Service mental health helplines will respond to people who access 1737 (including the Alcohol Drug Helpline and Gambling Helpline as well as Depression Helpline).
Helplines
