Mental Health Advice Line

The Mental Health Advice Line is a state-wide telephone information service available to all Victorians seeking mental health information, advice and referral for themselves or another person.

The service is for Victorians of all ages and from all backgrounds. You can call about yourself, a friend or a family member and you may remain anonymous if you wish.

The service is staffed by mental health professionals who provide expert mental health advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays.

The service is available state-wide.

Call 1300 280 737 for the cost of a local call from anywhere in Victoria. (Calls from mobile phones may be charged at a higher rate.)

In an emergency or life threatening situation, you should still call 000.

If you would like to speak another language, we can organise an interpreter. The National Relay Service is available to assist callers who have difficulties with hearing or speech.
