Bereavement Support Groups – building hope together after loss

Griefline provides free national grief support through a telephone helpline, digital resources and online community forums. These supports benefit everyone in understanding their experience of grief and especially assist those needing help to manage the distress of grief and support to develop healthy coping strategies.
Even though 95% of the Australian population have experienced the death of a significant person in their life in the past two years, grief is misunderstood and support not readily offered, leaving many Australians feeling overwhelmed and isolated in their grief.
Left unsupported, grief can increase mental health challenges, impair a person’s ability to function and cause significant distress for months, even years, after the loss. That's why Griefline provides free, accessible support across various channels so Australia's stories of loss and pain can be normalised and no longer escalate into mental health challenges.
We envision a society where grief is supported with compassion, community, and evidence-informed care – embedded across health systems, workplaces, and everyday life.
We're aiming to be supporting 250,000 grieving Australians by 2028 – doubling our reach and connecting more Australians to free, compassionate grief support so no one feels alone in their grief.
