HelplineMalta.com is an independent directory bringing together helplines, community organisations and practical support contacts across the islands.
We don’t provide counselling or monitor emergencies. Contact the services directly. Short numbers are intended for callers in Malta; access from abroad can vary.
Listings link to government or service-provider sources checked on 2 November 2026. Office contacts are labelled separately from helplines. Published opening hours are included where confirmed; other listings ask you to confirm with the provider.
Only confirmed free contact channels have a “Free call” or “Free chat” badge. Treatment, appointments and other services may have separate fees. Ask the provider. A 24/7 badge describes published availability, not a guarantee of an immediate answer.
