Bereavement Counselling Service
Currently, the Sydney Local Health District Bereavement Service is unable to provide counselling support.
If you feel you need support, please refer to any of the services we have suggested below. You might not feel this is right for you at this point in time, but it might be helpful sometime in the future. Some people may not feel ready to start bereavement counselling until a few months (or even a few years) after the death. Self-referral allows the client to choose when and how they begin counselling.
