Helplines for people under 18
This information is for young people who are concerned about domestic violence or sexual abuse.
It may be something that is happening in your life, or to someone that you know and care about. Or maybe it is something you want to understand better.
If you are a victim of domestic violence or sexual abuse, there is help and support available to you. You do not need to suffer this on your own.
You can ring one of the supports on this page or the Child Sexual Abuse Freephone on 1800 555 222.
