Keeping young people with a disability connected!

Image Livewire is a free, safe and fun online community for young people aged over 10 and under 21 living with a disability, serious illness, or chronic health condition.

It is a place for them to hang out, connect, share experiences, creatively express themselves and realise that they are not alone. Chat hosts and moderators trained in adolescent health ensure that Livewire remains a supportive and fun place 7 days a week.

Livewire works with the Australian Federal Police to make certain all members of Livewire remain safe while engaging with the community.

This great online community offers:
• chat rooms where young people can meet people their own age across Australia
• the chance to enter competitions and win awesome prizes
• online games
• forums and blogs
• the latest news, reviews and interviews
