Available now: free, confidential and professional support for parents

6th May, 2026

Parenting can bring enormous joy, but it can also be exhausting, confusing and emotionally demanding at times. Many parents and carers find themselves lying awake at night worrying about behaviour changes, big emotions, school challenges or whether they are responding in the best way for their child.

If you ever need someone to talk to, Parent Line NSW is a free and confidential telephone counselling service available to parents and carers.

You can call to talk with a trained counsellor who will listen without judgement and help you explore practical ways forward on a range of parenting concerns, including but not limited to child and adolescent behaviour, sleep and routines, anxiety, bullying, school transitions, family separation, parenting stress and the challenges of supporting children with additional needs.

Whether you are parenting a baby, child or teenager, no concern is too small to raise.

Parent Line is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm, and on weekends from 4pm to 9pm.

If reaching out for support feels hard, Parent Line offers a safe place to pause, reflect and feel supported on your parenting journey.
