Re: Homelessness

Hi @Londongal

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. If you need someone to talk to, you can speak to one of our counsellors on 1800 187 263 (Mon-Fri, 10am-10pm). If you need to speak to someone now, please call:

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or online chat

Beyond Blue Counselling: 1300 22 4636

Without knowing what state you're in, you can go to this page for a list of contacts for emergency housing. You can also visit Mission Australia or Salvation Army to search for your local homelessness services.

I hope this gives you a few options to start with. Please let us know how you are going.
