Griefline is a national not-for-profit that has been serving the community for more than 30 years.

We offer a variety of services that provide help-seekers the opportunity to access free grief support and resources, no matter where they are or what time of the day it is.

Our vision

To lead and inspire the national mental health industry in finding collaborative ways to prevent the escalation of mental ill-health as a result of grief and loss.

The service we provide is only made possible by the selfless efforts of our volunteer counsellors. Our volunteers come from all over Australia and from a variety of backgrounds and abilities.

The grief and loss support services we offer are developed in response to the issues raised on our helpline, which paint a snapshot of the challenges affecting the mental health of our community.

Our mission

Our mission is to normalise grief by having courageous conversations and supporting communities to grow from loss.
