Switchboard

About Switchboard

Switchboard has been equipping the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies with information and support for five decades. Through all the crises, celebrations and changing attitudes, we’ve been a clear and unmistakable voice. Today, we continue to channel this spirit in ways that champion our community, spread vital knowledge and inspire change.

Switchboard is the national LGBTQIA+ support line. For anyone, anywhere in the country, at any point in their journey. We can discuss anything related to sexuality and gender identity. Whether it’s sexual health, relationships or just the way you’re feeling. This is your space – to explore, talk and be truly heard.

All our volunteers identify as LGBTQIA+ and know how difficult navigating some of these issues can be. We talk things through, so that you have the options to make your own decisions. Switchboard is a non-judgmental space, and whatever you tell us will stay between us.

Our support line is completely free, and available wherever you feel most comfortable – whether that’s on the phone, via chat or email. 10am-10pm every single day.
