The Women’s Helpline is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 1800 777 5555 to speak to a Helpliner if you have a problem or want to find out more about our services.
How Our Helpline Supports You
1. Call the Helpline at 1800 777 5555 to speak to our Helpline volunteer.
2. With the guidance of the Helpline volunteer, you’ll decide what the next step is. Maybe you just need somebody to listen to what you have to say, or perhaps you want to take some action. If you need to see one of our counsellors or a lawyer at our legal clinic, the Helpline volunteer will book the appointment for you. All calls and cases are kept confidential. (Read more about our confidentiality practices here.)
3. If you are unable to reach the Women’s Helpline, and would like us to call you back, please leave your details here. We will call you back at a time that suits you.
4. We strive for all of our callers to receive the best possible support. We welcome feedback, good or bad, from people who have used the AWARE Women’s and Sexual Assault Care Centre Helplines. Please provide your feedback to us in this form.
