People in need of psychological support will now be able to text Lifeline and get help at any time of day or night.
The mental health charity has launched a 24/7 crisis text service to expand its support lines.
People can send a confidential text message to 0477 13 11 14 at any time and will be connected to a trained Lifeline crisis supporter after answering a few questions.
