Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement

The Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement is an independent, not for profit organisation which was established in 1996 to provide a range of education, counselling, research and clinical services for those working with, or affected by, grief and bereavement. Its mission is to build the capacity of individuals, organisations and communities in order to enhance well-being following adverse life events. The Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement operates the Victorian-based Specialist Bereavement Counselling and Support Service. The service offers office-based bereavement counselling for individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents; as well as support groups, written resources, remembrance events and practitioner consultation and support. Counselling fees are charged in accordance with the health and community services schedule. The Centre also offers quality, evidence-based education and training for health professionals; students; volunteers and other individuals or agencies seeking to enhance grief and bereavement knowledge and practice. Programs are offered as workshops, seminars, courses, customised training, conferences, international educator events and webinars. We also offer the nationally accredited post-graduate training program, the Graduate Certificate in Bereavement Counselling and Intervention.
