Homelessness during winter chills - Link2Home and Ask Izzy

Homelessness is tough but in winter it brings new challenges. It is important to know the avenues for support that are available if you or someone you know may be homeless or close to homelessness. Here are two support services that can help you:

  • Link2home - This state wide information and referral telephone service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year.

    In NSW you can call their homelessness line on 1800 152 152. You can also contact them on the numbers below:

    • Domestic Violence: 1800 656 463

    • Child Protection Services helpline: 13 2111

    Callers will receive information, an assessment to determine the type of help they need and referral to services and specialists as required.

    Visit the Department of Communities Services (DCJ) Link2Home webpage for more information.
