Get support

Parenting isn’t always easy. Some days it feels like too much — and that’s when reaching out can help. Parentline ACT is a free, confidential service where you can talk things through with a trained counsellor. No judgement. Just someone who listens and helps you find the next step.

Who we support

Parentline ACT supports parents, carers, and guardians at any age and stage — from pregnancy through to raising teenagers. We offer one-off advice or ongoing counselling, and we’re inclusive of all families and communities.

  • Find strategies that fit your family
