We are here to help. We believe passionately that people can change and that everyone has the right to live with dignity.

Lives Lived Well provides support for people in Queensland communities who are being impacted by alcohol or drugs or problems with mental health. We aim to take a holistic, compassionate and harm minimisation approach to help people live their lives well. Read more about our story.

If you’re concerned about the role that drugs or alcohol play in your life, or the lives of your loved ones, you can speak to one of our professional counsellors by calling: 1300 727 957.

If you live outside of Queensland, Lives Lived Well also delivers services and programs through Lyndon in NSW.

Alcohol and drug counselling

Free alcohol or drug counselling is provided across Queensland and free over-the-phone counselling is offered during office hours. Find a service near you.
