2025 National Grief Survey

Resize text-+=

Your voice can help shape better support for people grieving in Australia.

Grief touches all of us - but too often, the support doesn't.

If you’ve experienced grief in the past 12 months* — after the death of someone close, while anticipating a death, or through other significant losses — we’d like to hear from you.

By sharing your experience, you’ll help us understand what’s working and where more support, education, and resources are needed. Together, we can help create a more compassionate and grief-literate Australia.

What you need to know:

  • The survey is anonymous and takes around 10–15 minutes to complete.
  • You can skip any questions you’re not comfortable answering.
  • You can exit the survey at any time.

By continuing, you confirm that you’re aged 18 or over and consent to your responses being used for research and advocacy, in line with Griefline’s privacy notice. 

Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Start button below.

Survey closes 31 August 2025

*We’ve focused on grief experienced in the past 12 months to help capture current experiences and identify gaps in early support. We recognise that grief can last much longer, and this survey is one step in our ongoing efforts to better understand and support all grieving Australians.

Do you have a story to share?

We invite you to take part in Let’s Talk About Grief 2025 — a national initiative to make grief more visible, better understood, and more compassionately supported. 

If grief has touched your life at any point in time, you’re invited to share your story through our national storytelling campaign during Grief Awareness Month in August. 

Your insights could help shape how grief is seen, spoken about, and supported across Australia.

To participate in this initiative, please click on the Share your story button below. 

Submissions open until 26 July 2025
