Get Involved

The NCCG relies on the generosity of our donors whose ongoing support allows us to develop and deliver services independently and with a focus on quality and compassion

Our programs are funded by individual and corporate donations. We have calculated that it costs around $4,000 per year to support a grieving child. Very few families who attend the Centre are in a financial position to pay this amount. All donations and sponsorships are appreciated. Donations $2 and over are tax deductible.

Fund publication of other audio visual resources produced by the Centre.

Pay for secretarial support.

Volunteering Services

There are two levels of volunteers as detailed below. Unfortunately, we do not provide ‘placements’ for students training in other organisations. All volunteers must have “working with children” certification.

Level One Volunteers

These volunteers take the role of Support Workers in our children’s support groups.They must complete the following three day courses; ‘Core Course In Bereavement Counselling’ and ‘Working With Bereaved Children’. For more information call 1300 654-556 or email us.

Level Two Volunteers

Volunteers can also be involved with work behind the scenes, such as craft preparation, simple sewing, crafts, quilting and organising our craft centre. For more information call 1300 654-556 or email us.

Corporate Partnerships

We have enjoyed support from a number of corporate partnerships over many years. This support varies from donation of goods to capital funding for training programs.

We’re open to forming new corporate partnerships. For more information or to discuss how our organisations can work together, please email Racquel at racquel@childhoodgrief.org.au
