FFG MateLine brand v1 full

A phone support service for Australian veterans.

We're ready for a cuppa and a conversation.

MateLine is for anyone who needs to reconnect or just wants a chat.

All conversations with MateLine are anonymous (this is not a crisis service) and our friendly volunteers call a few times a week for a yarn and to share a story or two.

MateLine is temporarily closed.

Regrettably we are unable to accept registrations for MateLine as we currently have a waiting list.

To speak with a counsellor at Beyond Blue please call 1300 22 4636

To access crisis support and suicide prevention services at Lifeline please call 13 11 14
