Mental Health Support
Access culturally safe wellbeing services across Australia
A government-backed resource is now available to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples connect with culturally appropriate mental health and wellbeing services. This contact list, published by the Australian government, offers easy access to a range of indigenous mental health helplines and support organisations.
The First Nations Mental Health and Wellbeing Support contact list includes essential services such as:
- 13YARN – a 24/7 crisis support line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- R U OK? – For stories and practical tips to help support others and ask your mob, in your way, RUOK?
- eSafetyFirstNations – Hear stories from mob in language and find tips to help you be deadly online
- WellMob Healing Our Way – Social, emotional and cultural wellbeing online resources
- Beyond Blue, Lifeline, and other providers offering culturally safe support.
This initiative is part of the government’s commitment to improving mental health outcomes for Indigenous Australians by ensuring services are respectful, accessible, and grounded in culture.
Why culturally safe support matters
First Nations communities face unique challenges when it comes to mental health & wellbeing. Having access to support services that understand and respect cultural identity is crucial for effective care and long-term wellbeing.
At 1300apprentice, we’re committed to supporting the holistic wellbeing of First Nations peoples. Our Aboriginal Employment Program helps create sustainable pathways through apprenticeships and traineeships, supporting both personal growth and community strength.
This NAIDOC week, we’re proud to stand with First Nations communities by sharing a vital mental health resource.
