Compliments
We've added a new Compliments box to our feedback area. Click here to check it out
While we aim to respond to calls as quickly as possible, sometimes the service is in very high demand and we may not be able to get to everyone. We understand that it can be disappointing not to be connected to a peer, and encourage you to try us again a little later if this happens. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering as a QLife peer supporter, click here.
If you have any feedback, please speak with your peer, or complete the user feedback survey here. We appreciate that with all changes there may be things that don’t go quite right. We will work quickly to resolve any issues that are identified.
QLife provides anonymous and free LGBTIQ+ peer support and referral for people in Australia wanting to talk about sexuality, gender, bodies, feelings or relationships.

Your privacy is our priority. You can trust our dedicated peer workers. QLife is an anonymous service you can rely on.
We’ve got some great resources for community members and health professionals, including QGuides, QLives and our LGBTIQ+ referral database
