A calmer starting point for wellbeing

Why HelpSpace exists

Looking for mental wellbeing help can feel overwhelming. Information is scattered, search results vary in quality, and it is hard to know where to start. HelpSpace brings two things together in one calm place: short, practical courses you can do right now, and a directory that helps you find real services when you want to talk to someone.

What HelpSpace is

• A free, educational resource with short, evidence-informed wellbeing mini-courses.
• An independent directory of support services, with details verified against official sources where possible.
• A place to compare many kinds of support, including services that are not part of HelpSpace.

What HelpSpace is not

• It is not a medical provider or a diagnostic tool.
• It is not an emergency service or a crisis line.
• It does not replace individual professional treatment.

If you are in immediate danger in Australia, call Triple Zero (000). See Urgent Help for crisis contacts.

How our content is written

Our courses draw on widely taught, evidence-informed ideas — such as cognitive behavioural approaches, self-compassion research and stress-management practices — and are written in plain language. They are general education, not personalised advice. We describe skills to try, not guaranteed cures.

Independent and transparent

HelpSpace is an independent resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the third-party organisations listed in the directory, and no partnership is implied. Descriptions of external services are our own summaries, and every link opens the organisation’s official website.

Privacy by design

You do not need an account to use HelpSpace. Course progress and reflections stay on your device, and we do not sell sensitive personal information. Read our Privacy statement and manage your data in Settings.
