Help Us Keep Mental Health Support Accessible & Affordable
Rough Patch exists to make counselling more accessible and affordable.
We know that so many people fall through the cracks of the mental health system in so-called Australia. Costs, waitlists, overwhelm and not knowing where to start stop people from getting support.
Your contribution helps us continue our work – where people can access reduced-fee counselling, educational resources, community support and mental health conversations without shame or barriers. As a grassroots, volunteer-led organisation, every contribution genuinely helps us.
Whether it’s helping cover the everyday running costs that keep Rough Patch going, running workshops, improving our resources, or helping us reach more people who need our support, your contribution makes a real difference.
Thank you for helping us continue this work.
How To Support Us
To keep our innovative model running, we rely on support from the community to help us provide affordable counselling and make sure we are a sustainable resource for everyone who needs us. We are truly grateful for people who want to help us with our vision and mission. You can help us continue our work in the following ways.
Pro-bono, consulting
and training
We’re currently seeking volunteers to assist with supervision, mental health training, grant writing, and identifying funding opportunities.
If you have experience in these areas and can donate your time, please contact us. In return for your support, we may be able to offer you support or testimonials.

Share what we
do on socials
You can tell people about what we do by sharing and reposting our social media posts on your own channels and talking about what we do in the community.
If you need any extra info about what we do, get in touch so we can email you our information pack and social media tiles.
Make a financial contribution
Donations help us grow and provide continuing care to people who need us. The simplest way to do this is with a monetary contribution which we can use to meet our specific needs – such as program development, employing staff and consultants, – as well as our day-to-day responsibilities.
Regular financial contributions mean that we can plan for paying bills, program development, external consultants, and growth.
