Free quit smoking help in Australia
You don't have to pay anyone to quit. These are the real Australian services — phone lines, government programs and health charities — you can use today, for free. QuitCoach sits alongside them, it doesn't replace them.

Your GP and pharmacist
A GP appointment is the fastest way to get medical quitting support. Ask about nicotine replacement therapy, prescription options, and whether a GP Management Plan applies to you. Some quit medicines are subsidised through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which lowers the price a lot. Pharmacists can advise on patches, gum, lozenges, mouth spray and inhalators without an appointment.

- Vaping instead of smoking? Start with how to quit vaping.

Where QuitCoach fits
QuitCoach is an Australian digital program — daily check-ins, craving tools and an AI coach in your pocket between appointments. It is not medical advice and there are no human counsellors on our side. Most people do best combining a free service above with something that keeps them going day to day.
