The Violet Initiative is a national not-for-profit that helps Australians in the last stage of life, and those who love them, be better prepared and supported on their journey.
We offer free one-on-one support to people who are:
- Caring for a loved one with dementia
- Caring for a loved one who is frail and elderly, living in aged care or who has a terminal illness
- Bereaved by the loss of a partner, friend or family member
- Currently experiencing the last stage of life.
It's common to feel confused or overwhelmed when caring for a loved one who is terminally ill or frail, or grieving after their loss. Violet Guides provide free, unlimited support so you can talk about what's on your mind whenever you need to. And, because we know how important it is to connect with someone who understands, you'll always be supported by the same Guide.
We know everyone's caring journey is different, and everyone needs different support depending on their situation. Violet's growing library of free resources provide information and personal stories about caregiving, self-care, and the last stage of life so you can choose the most helpful content for you. And they're available online so you can access them anytime, from anywhere.
