We’re here to help expecting and new parents and their support people during the transition to parenthood.

PANDA’s National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline is Australia’s only free national helpline for people affected by changes to their mental health and emotional wellbeing during the perinatal period. We support people throughout pregnancy up until their baby is 12 months old.

The Helpline is open:

• 9am – 7:30pm Monday – Friday
• 9am – 4pm on Saturdays and public holidays.

The Helpline provides a safe and confidential space for any expecting or new parent needing support with the challenges of becoming a parent.

We also speak to concerned support people who want information on caring for someone experiencing challenges during the transition to parenthood, including:

• Partners
• Family and friends
• Health professionals

Many people in the Australian community don’t know about the signs and symptoms of perinatal anxiety and depression, or where to turn for support. The PANDA Helpline can help you identify what kind of care you need and where to find it.
