So I have decided to do this final list by the Oceania region instead of the continent of Australia, because that would exclude the Pacific Islands and New Zealand!
Also, something key to note. I am including helplines as well as crisis lines. That is why its important to visit the websites to determine if a service is for you. I aim to add in the type of line for each, soon!
