ESTABLISHING A MEMBERSHIP
A TCFV membership can be established in one of two ways:
- by calling 1300 064 068 / (03) 9888 4944
- or signing up here.
A TCFV MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO…
- Individuals bereaved of children, siblings and/or grandchildren. Membership runs from 1 July – 30 June each year, new members during that time may opt to receive complimentary hard copies of our magazine, Compassionate Connections.
- COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP, meanwhile, is open to the “non-bereaved”, including extended family, friends, businesses or work colleagues who know and believe in the difference our work has and continues to make for grieving parents, siblings and grandparents.
IS A BEREAVED MEMBERSHIP COMPLIMENTARY?
A bereaved membership is complimentary for the remainder of the financial year in which you join (e.g. if you establish a membership in September 2024, your membership is complimentary until June 30, 2025), with the option to renew your membership in subsequent years.
WHAT DOES A BEREAVED MEMBERSHIP INCLUDE?
Being a member of The Compassionate Friends Victoria (TCFV) enables you to access many vital support services and attend social activities whilst demonstrating your support for a society that is aware and understands the impact of grief and bereavement following the death of a child, sibling or grandchild.
