It’s late in the evening, and something doesn’t feel right. Maybe your child is unusually withdrawn… maybe they’ve said something that worries you… or maybe your gut just says, “I need to talk to someone.”
When concerns about your child’s mental health or wellbeing come up outside of regular office hours, it can feel overwhelming—but support is available.
Here are some after-hours services you can call in Western Australia:
🔹 Crisis Care – 1800 199 008 (24/7)

🔹 Kids Helpline – 1800 55 1800 (24/7)
Free, confidential support for children and young people (aged 5–25), and parents. Kids and teens can speak directly to a trained counsellor, and parents can also call for guidance.
