Our wonderful counsellors, mediators and educators are reaching the end of the year and are taking a much needed and well-deserved break.
Our last working day for the year will be Wednesday 24 December – returning Friday 2 January – and we’ll be offline on social media during that time, too.
Our client services team won’t be able to take your phone calls and enquiries over this time, but you can email us and we’ll get back to you in the new year.
Our Knowledge Hub contains a wealth of relationship tips and advice while we’re away.

Whether it’s with family, friends or community, the end of the year can be a much-needed time to invest in the relationships that matter most. Importantly, it can also offer an opportunity to reset, recharge and connect with ourselves.
From all of us at Relationships Australia NSW, may your holidays be filled with time for reflection, review, and reconnection, to restore your energy so you can continue to invest in your relationships – with yourself and others – in 2025.
