Fact sheets
Free grief resources
Grief and loss information to download, print and share.
Griefline is committed to providing free grief support and information to all Australians and therefore we are building a digital library of fact sheets and resources covering different topics that are easy to understand and can benefit a wide range of people in the community.Â
Translated resources
The 2016 Census (Australian Bureau of Statistics) revealed that 21% of Australia’s population speaks a second language at home. Many of the resources we share on this page have been developed to enable health practitioners and those working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities to easily find translated grief and loss information. Refer below to find downloadable fact sheets that have been translated into different languages.Â
