Powered by Starlight Children’s Foundation, Livewire Online is a free online community for young people (and their siblings) aged 12-20 living with disability, serious illness or a chronic health condition. The Livewire chat hosts listen, support discussions, and provide support without judgement. Every application is authorised with parental consent and proof of identity.
When you’re a teenager with a serious illness, not many people really get what you’re going through – and it can be hard for siblings too. Visit Livewire anytime to swap stories, ask for ideas, and talk about whatever’s going on in your life, from operations to issues with friends and family. We have everything from a moderated chatroom (operating and staffed from midday to midnight, 7 days a week) through to competitions, an active newsfeed, live streaming, special events and regular visits from celebrity guests.

The Peer Connect website was created on Kaurna Country. We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the Adelaide Plains and pay our respects to Elders past and present. The peer groups and networks on this site extend across many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations and language groups throughout Australia, and we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of those Countries and their continuing connection to land, waters and community.
This site exists for people with disability to connect, learn and thrive. No matter your background, identity or lived experience, you belong here. Welcome.
