QLife

QLife provides Australia-wide LGBTI peer support and referral via phone and webchat. It is anonymous and free. Support is provided by trained LGBTI community members across the country. LGBTI communities often fall through the cracks when it comes to both funding and service delivery, and this is no different during COVID-19. LGBTI people are twice... as likely to suffer from mental health challenges than the rest of the population are, but often feel uncomfortable or unsafe accessing ill-suited mainstream services. As the effects of isolation start to cause an increase in demand for support, QLife has had to reduce the hours that its councillors are available as it can no longer rely on volunteers coming into their call centres. This grant will make QLife councillors available to more people for more hours of the day.Read More
