SHARC - Family Drug and Gambling Helpline

Developed by families for families, SHARC Family Drug and Gambling Helpline provides practical help, information and support. The helpline combines specialist skills with personal understanding to support and empower families. The service is free and confidential.

The helpline is staffed by trained volunteers who know what it's like because they too have been impacted by someone’s drug and alcohol use.

This helpline is available 24-hours, 7 days a week. It is possible to request a call back from a person with family experience from Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm. After hours calls are answered by trained counsellors. There is an interpreter option available if required.

This service is for friends and families affected by someone’s drinking, drug use or gambling.

This is a free service.
