Brother to Brother - Aboriginal men's crisis line

A new 24-hour crisis line for Aboriginal Men has been set up to provide extra support during the coronavirus pandemic.

Brother to Brother is the only hotline in Australia specifically created to assist Aboriginal men seeking help during the coronavirus crisis.

Key points:

• Brother to Brother is Australia's first 24-hour hotline assisting Aboriginal men throughout COVID-19
• The crisis number is 1800 435 799
• The line is staffed by Aboriginal men, including Elders, to promote a culturally-safe service

The service was created by Dardi Munwurro, an organisation that delivers a range of family violence programs specifically targeting Aboriginal men.

It aims to break the cycle of inter-generational trauma in Indigenous communities.
