SIDS AND KIDS BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES

SIDS and Kids bereavement support services assist families who have experienced the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child, during birth, pregnancy or infancy, regardless of the cause.

Our support services are extensive and include counselling, parent and family support, peer support, sibling support, grandparent support groups, group activities, annual memorial services, telephone counselling and a national 24 hour freecall 1300 bereavement support line.

Services are available to families and their support network free of charge.

We know that over 9 children under 4 years of age die suddenly and unexpectedly every day in Australia and that up to 60 people are affected by the death of one child.

For this reason, our bereavement support services are vital for all Australian families who have experienced the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child.

Our support is ongoing for families and can be tailored to their individual needs.

To access Bereavement Support Services in your State or Territory call our
24 hour bereavement support line on 1300 308 307.
