Bereavement resources for community groups

We know community groups play a big role in supporting people affected by bereavement.

Use our resources to promote our services and help people in your community.

• a factsheet for Indigenous Australians - Tell us when one of your mob passes away
• a checklist of who to notify when someone dies
• forms to notify us of someone’s death.
