Text us. Get help.
Send a message to +61 468 094 368. Tell us what's going on in your own words — in any of 9 languages. We'll text back the 2–3 best free services for you, usually within 30 seconds.
What happens after you text
- 1You write what's going on
Three words is plenty. "Need food this week" or "worried about my son" or "I'm not coping" — whatever feels right.
- 2We ask one or two gentle questions
Usually just your suburb, sometimes your preferred language.
- 3We text back 2–3 services
Name, phone, hours, what to expect, languages spoken. All free. All verified.
- 4A real human is watching
If anything in your message suggests crisis, our team is alerted and may text you directly.

Just text us in your language. We'll match it.
What it costs
Nothing from us. Standard SMS rates from your phone carrier may apply — same as texting a friend.
What we never do
We never share your number. We never sell your data. We never log in to your phone. We don't need your name. We hash your phone number for privacy and only resolve it when a human from our team needs to reply.
