3PM to MIDNIGHT, EVERY DAY
COVID-19 NOTICE
Thanks for visiting the QLife website. Now more than ever accessing support is really important as we manage the challenges relating to COVID-19.
We want to let you know that you may experience a longer than usual wait for QLife services at present, as demand has remained high and Peer Supporter availability continues to be affected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
To help support as many community members as possible we will continue to be aware of time and keep contacts focused. We have listened to feedback and are pleased to announce that we can extend the time limits for calls to 25 minutes and webchats to 35 minutes.
We appreciate your patience during this time and look forward to continuing to support our LGBTIQ+ communities. We will keep our communities updated as further service changes occur. You can follow our updates here or on our Qlife Facebook page.
QLife understands our communities have experienced a range of personal and social trauma. However, QLife Peer Supporters and staff have the right to work in a safe workplace free from homophobia, transphobia and threats of harm. Phone calls or webchats to QLife that contain abusive, aggressive, or threatening language will be terminated.

we're here
"I see myself in these struggles, of Aboriginal people, of women. I think it’s helpful to see yourself in the struggles of others. You know you’re not alone in it. The same but different struggles. The point is to understand the history of what it means to come from that marginalised, that hated, that demeaned place."

Acknowledgement of Country
QLife acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia, their diversity, histories and knowledge and their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to all Australian Indigenous peoples and their cultures, and to Elders of past, present and future generations.
Acknowledgement of our Elders
We pay our respects to those amongst the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex communities who have worked to support the improved health and wellbeing of their peers, children, families, friends, and country. We honour the elders in the diverse communities of which we are a part and we celebrate the extraordinary diversity of people's bodies, genders, sexualities, and relationships that they represent.
