Supporting grieving Australians for almost 40 years
At Griefline, we are dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of grief and loss. For nearly four decades, we have provided free, accessible support and resources to people across Australia - anytime they need us.
Griefline operates under the governance of SANE Australia, strengthening our foundation while ensuring our services remain compassionate, community-centred, and grounded in evidence-informed care. Our mission and support remain unchanged: to be here for every person experiencing grief, loneliness, or loss.
We are committed to normalising grief by having courageous conversations and supporting individuals and communities to grow from loss.
Griefline is dedicated to supporting Australians through grief and loss with care, compassion, and evidence-based resources. As a member of Ending Loneliness Together, we highlight the deep connection between grief and loneliness, fostering meaningful conversations that strengthen community bonds and reduce isolation. Through our membership with Mental Health Australia, we contribute to shaping national health policies and advocate for collaborative approaches to prevent the escalation of mental ill-health caused by grief.
Proudly, Griefline is the only national grief and bereavement support service in Australia accredited under the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health Standards, affirming our unwavering commitment to delivering safe, person-centered care. Additionally, as a trusted information partner with healthdirect Australia, we provide reliable support to help individuals navigate grief with confidence and dignity.
