Griefline’s nationally accredited Helpline has received interim government funding to remain open until 30 June 2025. While this funding allows us to keep the Helpline running for now, the future remains uncertain. Whether you’re a service user, healthcare professional, workplace leader, or passionate community member, there are plenty of ways you can help ensure our essential services continue.
Today Griefline received confirmation that the Hon Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care, has agreed to provide additional funding for our Helpline to continue operating in 2024-25.
Griefline’s national helpline will close on 18 March 2025 due to insufficient government funding. Despite years of strategic planning and working to diversify our income streams, we are unable to continue operating this essential service. The Government assured us that we would receive the funding required to continue current operations, yet the grant offer is for future financial years and only half of what is needed. We were only invited to apply for funding last night, and all Forecast Opportunities are subject to revision, withdrawal, or cancellation. With an election imminent, there is no certainty that any grant agreements will be finalised before the Government enters caretaker mode.
