24 hour Grief Telephone Support

Grief does not discern time. We understand there are times when you need to speak with another bereaved parent. Our grief support telephone line is a message bank service and is available 24 hours a day. Please leave a detailed message when you call and a volunteer bereaved parent will contact you as soon as possible.

Our message bank number is (08) 8351 0344
