During a time of family breakdown, many people are faced with a complex mix of emotional and practical matters.
The Family Relationship Advice Line will help you sort through these issues and refer you to other services that can help. This might include services from Centrelink, the Child Support Agency, or a legal service. It might also include services that can assist with counselling and support for you or the children, or help with accommodation, mental health issues or drug and alcohol abuse problems.
The Family Relationship Advice Line can also provide assistance and referrals for families dealing with violence or child abuse issues.
