What it is

Beyond Blue is a national organisation supporting mental health and wellbeing. It provides information, support and a counselling service for people dealing with anxiety, depression and the many pressures of life — including the stress that comes with money and debt.

The national support line is 1300 22 4636. Beyond Blue is a wellbeing service rather than a financial one, but financial stress and mental health are closely linked. You can learn more at beyondblue.org.au.

Who it helps

Beyond Blue is for anyone whose mental health or wellbeing is under strain — including people worried about debt, bills, job security or financial hardship. Money problems can lead to anxiety, sleeplessness and low mood, and it is completely understandable to need support for that.

If your stress is tied to your finances, Beyond Blue can help you look after yourself while you also seek practical help, such as the supports on our getting help guide.

What help it offers

Beyond Blue offers a support service by phone and online, along with trusted information and resources about mental health. Its counsellors can listen, offer support and point you to further help, including for money-related stress. There are also forums and self-help tools on its website.

For practical money help, Beyond Blue complements financial counselling and the National Debt Helpline. Caring for your mind and tackling the debt can go hand in hand.
