Grief Support

Grief Support

Wombat’s Wish can provide one-to-one grief counselling support for children and young people aged 5 – 17 years old that are registered with our program. 

These sessions are facilitated by our experienced counsellor, Fran, or psychologist, Rachel, and are free for families to access.

It’s easy to get some extra support to help you or your children talk through their loss and memories. We provide short-term help through talk and play therapy to support your children with their experiences.

We also help you understand worrying behaviours they may be showing and develop more tools to strengthen your family bond.

To access this free service you must:

  • Make an appointment with your GP
  • Ask for an individual Mental Health Care Plan for each family member who requires the counselling service.
  • The children will need to chat with the doctor, too.
  • Then ask the GP to send the Mental Health Care Plan to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Once we have received your mental health care plan we will get back in touch to set up your appointment. Wombat's Wish can provide in-person or telehealth appointments across Victoria.
