Brother to Brother Crisis Support Line

A 24-hour crisis line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men of all ages established to provide extra support during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Dardi Munwurro (Strong Spirit) is a specialist Aboriginal family violence service. Our vision is to build stronger families and safer communities. We do this by delivering a range of family violence programs specifically tailored for Aboriginal men. These programs aim to break the cycle of inter-generational trauma in Aboriginal families and communities by empowering and inspiring individuals to heal the past, acknowledge the present and create a positive vision for the future.

In March, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dardi Munwurro launched a 24-hour crisis line for Aboriginal men (Brother to Brother). The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Brother to Brother crisis line provides phone support for Aboriginal men who need someone to talk to about relationship problems, family violence, parenting, drug and alcohol issues or who are struggling to cope for other reasons.

The Brother to Brother crisis line is staffed by Aboriginal men, including Elders, who have a lived experience in the issues that the line offers support for.
