Quitline is a telephone service that is dedicated to helping people who want to quit smoking. Many of the staff are young women and you can ask to speak to a female counsellor if you prefer.

Quitline counsellors will talk with you about your smoking and help you make a plan to quit. They can work with you to help you understand why you smoke and how you can resist and manage high-risk situations where you'll be tempted to light up. Quitline staff can also talk to you about nicotine replacement therapy and other methods to help you quit. Calling Quitline, 24 hours, seven days a week from anywhere in Australia only costs the price of a local call. (Calling from a mobile phone will cost more.)
