Launching this August for Grief Awareness Month, Griefline invites you to take part in the 2025 National Grief Survey. Australians are encouraged to share their personal story to better understand how grief is experienced.
As a proud member of Mental Health Australia (MHA), Griefline is committed to advocating for increased investment in early intervention and prevention programs to enhance the mental health and well-being of all Australians.
This initiative underscores the urgent need for funding services like Griefline, which offer vital support to individuals coping with grief and loss—an experience that can significantly impact mental health. By investing in these essential services, we can help individuals navigate their grief while preventing long-term mental health challenges.
The holiday season can be especially tough for those of us grieving, with feelings of sadness and loneliness often intensifying. At Griefline, we’ve been offering compassionate support for nearly 40 years. “December is our busiest month, with calls increasing by 89% this year,” says Louisa Smith. Our free helpline is available every day, including Christmas Day. We provide trained volunteers and online resources with tips for coping, like acknowledging your feelings, setting realistic expectations, and honoring your loved one.
Griefline and Dying with Dignity Victoria (DWDV) have partnered to deliver an Australian-first pilot program supporting families navigating grief after Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD). This white paper explores the program’s design, impact, and key learnings, including how tailored support groups have transformed the bereavement journey for participants.
