13 YARN is Australia’s first – and only – national Indigenous-led crisis hotline.  13 YARN is a 24/7 national telephone helpline which has been codesigned by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people specifically to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander crisis support line has been developed in collaboration with Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia and is run by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with the support of Lifeline.  All telephone crisis supporters are First Nations people and trained by Lifeline.

If you, or someone you know are feeling worried or no good, we encourage you to connect with 13 YARN on 13 92 76 and talk with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander crisis supporter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


For more information please contact the Seniors Enquiry Line on 1300 135 500.
