Kids Helpline is Australia's only free, private and confidential 24/7 phone and online counselling service for children and young people aged 5 to 25.
$5 buys 5 minutes of precious time for a child or young person to talk with a Kids Helpline counsellor. A lot can happen in five minutes - it can mean a great deal of difference for many children who contact Kids Helpline.
5 for 5 can save a life
Every 69 seconds a child or young person contacts Kids Helpline. At least 15 times a day a child discloses to a counsellor they are in immediate harm or danger.
Right now, Kids Helpline can only answer 2 in 5 contacts from children and young people. Your donation can make a very real difference.
