Support Act Wellbeing Helpline: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Access free, confidential 24/7 mental health counseling if you work in the Australian music industry.

The Support Act Wellbeing Helpline provides immediate mental health support specifically for those working within the Australian music industry. This service offers a way to access professional mental health counseling at any time of the day or night.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for individuals who are currently working in the Australian music industry. Whether you are a touring musician, a studio professional, or involved in other sectors of the music community, if your work is within the Australian music industry, you qualify to access this support.

What you get

Users receive access to mental health counseling that is both free of charge and completely confidential. A key feature of this service is that it is available 24/7, meaning you can reach out for assistance at any hour, regardless of your touring schedule or studio sessions. This provides a safety net for music professionals who may not have access to traditional employer-provided health insurance.

What it costs you

There is no monetary cost to use this wellbeing helpline. There are no registration fees or hidden charges to speak with someone; the only requirement is the time it takes to make a phone call to access the service.

The catch to know

It is important to understand the specific purpose of this service. This helpline is intended to provide immediate support for mental health needs. It is meant for crisis or urgent support rather than being a provider for long-term, ongoing clinical therapy or extended psychological treatment.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that your current professional work is within the Australian music industry.
  2. Decide when you need to speak with a counselor for immediate support.
  3. Access the service by making a phone call to the helpline.
