Establishing a good life in Australia is a dream shared by many newcomers to the country. But that dream can face barriers or end up in relationship breakdowns.


Men who are often regarded as the head of the family can find it difficult to express their feelings and frustrations. But this does not have to end up in violence. There are programs to help.

 You can find out more about similar programs from  chapters around the country or ring 1300 364 277 for the cost of a local call.

 Men with emotional health or relationship concerns can also call MensLine Australia on 1300 78 99 78 for free counselling support 24 hours a day. If you need language support, call the national Translating and Interpreting Service on 13 14 50 and ask for your designated organisation.

Listen to  every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 3 pm.
