25 October 2024: QLife Webchat Service Disruption
Friday 25 October 2024
Webchat will be unavailable this Friday between approximately 3pm and 7pm AEDT (Sydney/Melbourne timezone). The phone line will be operating as normal on 1800 184 527 between 3pm and 12am AEDT. This is due to a system outage. Our webchat provider needs to perform some essential maintenance. For the next few days after this, things might be a little slower than usual on webchat as the system reboots. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. You can email ask@qlife.org.au with any feedback or questions.
2 October 2024: QLife Operating Hours
We’ve updated our service times in some areas. From Sunday 6 October 2024:
• QLife is open nationally between 3pm and 12am AEDT (Sydney/Melbourne timezone).
• For WA, SA, Qld, NT the opening hours will be earlier in your state.
Everyone, anywhere in Australia can access QLife for the full 9 hours we’re open. However, for the time being, we needed to make these changes due to operational reasons.
You can email ask@qlife.org.au with any questions or concerns.
Things to know when contacting QLife
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.
