Your support keeps our lines open 24/7

When a young person feels like they’re falling, who catches them? 

We do, because Kids Helpline exists to be the safety net – for the scared 14-year-old lying awake with anxiety, the teenager facing abuse and afraid to speak up, or the young person struggling with suicidal thoughts when the rest of the world is asleep. 

Your tax-deductible donation before 30 June is the reason Kids Helpline can be there – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – for children and young people in need of help.  

you are helping to make a difference

Your support will fund more counsellors and resources to ensure that every call, every chat, every cry for help can be answered.
