I'm hoping for a little help. Does anyone have advice as to who the key crisis mental health support agencies are in Sydney, and especially if there is anything that's good to know when contacting them?

I'll avoid any identifying information, but the context is this:

I don't live in Sydney. I live interstate. A friend in Sydney is having an extremely difficult time. I'm worried about them, so is their family. Their entire support network is back here in their home state with me. They have nobody to lean on in Sydney.

My friend's mental health seems relatively stable at the moment given the circumstances. They are really struggling though. They have had significant mental health problems in the past and we worry where this might lead.

We are encouraging the person to come back here, close to their support network, even if only temporarily. Some of us are figuring out if we can get over there to them.

In the meantime, I'm worried that if the worst happens, and we think the person might harm themselves, that none of us know who to reach out to. I know who to contact here—triage services, crisis response services, and so on—but have no clue about Sydney.

Hell, I don't even know how to reach 000 interstate. If I dial 000, I assume the call is directed somewhere local to me, not local to them, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, hopefully it doesn't get to that point but I want us to be ready if it does. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

This is no doubt a long shot but does anyone have any advice as to how I could track down a copy of Late Show from Friday 27 October 1995? John Goodman was the first guest, if that helps any. My wife and I were at the taping of the episode, back when we were a couple of goofy teenagers. We never actually got to see the episode on TV. I'm trying to track it down as part of an anniversary present. Any help would mean a lot.
