We did it! Our GRIEFis247 campaign has received a commitment from the Prime Minister to fund our essential bereavement services!
We are thrilled and deeply grateful for the commitment made by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to restore $2 million in annual funding for 3 years, for Red Nose! This incredible news ensures that we can continue offering vital support services to the thousands of families who rely on us after experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, and the death of a baby or child.
As an organisation that has been providing expert bereavement support for decades, this funding is crucial in maintaining our 24/7 phone support, counselling sessions, group meetings, and memorial events. Without it, many of these services would have been forced to cut back.
We will continue to provide the compassionate care that families need during their darkest times. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
Thank you to all of you for supporting the campaign, and to all of our families who spoke to the media and shared their story. Read some of the coverage below!
