2020 is a year we won't soon forget.

Griefline has been operating for more than three decades, and never, have we experienced such high demand for our services.

During the pandemic our telephone counsellors experienced a 1100% increase in callers seeking help to manage their experiences with grief and loss.

Our amazing volunteers and staff have been stretched to their limits, despite this, both the state and federal governments have excluded our organisation from their funding packages for mental health support services.

At its core, Griefline is, and always will be, centred on empowering the people we support.

Our future is about creating more awareness for the work we do, to amplify our capability to service all Australian’s requiring mental health support when faced with grief, loss and the many associated feelings they experience as a result.

Our future is also in delivering a more flexible, nimble and proactive service so that it is accessible to people throughout Australia, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, no matter where they live.

We see our call for assistance from both the Victorian and Federal Governments as a means for making our future endeavours more imminent and we sincerely hope that they share that vision with us.

We are with you South Australia. ❤️

Fear, uncertainty and anxiety are some of the feelings you may be experiencing as you enter into lockdown. 😔

But you are not alone. 🤝🙂

Feeling grief and a sense of loss is a normal human response to having restrictions imposed upon your everyday life.

Our skilled volunteer telephone counsellors come from all walks of life but with a common commitment to supporting people experiencing grief and loss during the pandemic.

You can call our toll free helpline from 6 am to midnight, 7 days a week to speak to one of our compassionate and empathetic telephone counsellors.

On this day, 11 November 2020 we remember those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.

We also acknowledge that this day is rooted in grief and a reminder to us all of the every day reality of grief.

Let us not just remember our fallen and acknowledge their ultimate sacrifice, but also acknowledge that this day stands as a reminder to all who are still coping with loss or still recovering from the trauma after returning from service.

If this day has brought back memories of a loved one, or you find you are not coping with a traumatic event during service, you can call GriefLine.

Our empathetic and compassionate telephone counsellors are trained in supporting people experiencing grief, loss and trauma and are available to take your call 6 am to midnight, 7 days a week on 1300 845 745

We ask that you be patient while waiting to speak with a counsellor as we are currently experiencing an unprecedented number of calls at this time.

This week is NAIDOC Week, a week dedicated to celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Australia's First Nations people. Usually held in July, official celebrations were postponed to 8 - 15 November.
This year's theme is Always Was, Always Will Be - and recognises that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent, all were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future.

NAIDOC originally began in 1938 and was known as the 'Day of Mourning' before Australia Day.

Today, it is a time of celebration and connection, symbolising respect and sharing culture as well as a time for healing and reflection.

At GriefLine we are committed to ensuring Indigenous heritage and cultures are recognised by our community. Our telephone counselling services are inclusive of all Australians and are available 6 am to midnight by calling 1300 845 745

We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experiencing grief, loss and associated trauma as well as transgenerational, cultural and personal loss experienced by our stolen generation.
