You need not walk alone... We are The Compassionate Friends NSW.

Grieving. Healing. Growing.

The Compassionate Friends NSW is a peer support community.
We offer friendship and understanding to grieving parents, siblings and grandparents who have lost a child of any age, for any reason.

We’re here when you need us.

Newly bereaved

As members of The Compassionate Friends, we understand what you are experiencing. Like you, we have also lost a dearly beloved child. We share your pain, and while every journey through grief is unique, we are here to support you.

Support groups

The Compassionate Friends offer support, friendship and hope through support groups. We have 3 chapters which meet in our city office, 5 in suburban Sydney, and 20 in NSW country areas.

If you live in the Sydney Metropolitan area, please contact The Pitt Street Centre. If you live outside the Sydney CBD, find a local support group here.

Support resources

We offer a variety of resources for bereaved families on our website and in our office at 603/109 Pitt Street, Sydney.
Let us help you to find useful books, brochures, online videos, and links to other organisations.

There are no goodbyes for us.
Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart…

Mahatma Gandhi
