Call 13 11 14 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to speak to a telephone counsellor who can also refer you to other organisations - they have one of the best lists of resources of any group in the country.

These people are the first people I would recommend calling when looking for help in Australia as they can usually point you in the right direction.
