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.
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.
Griefline, Australia’s national grief and loss support service, will close its Helpline on 18 March 2025 due to a lack of sustainable funding. Despite a 112% increase in demand, the service has been unable to secure resources to continue offering free grief support. For over 37 years, Griefline has provided essential early intervention to prevent complex grief disorders. The closure will create a gap in Australia’s mental health system, increasing pressure on crisis services. Griefline is calling on corporate and philanthropic partners to invest in grief support and help sustain these vital services for grieving Australians.
We are excited to announce the expansion of our workplace program to better support employees navigating the emotional challenges of grief. After two years of thoughtful development, the program now includes on-demand webinars and customised online, live training experiences, offering greater accessibility and a more comprehensive approach than ever before.
