1 in 20 children before the age of 18 in Australia experience the death of a parent (abs 2019 census data). Wombat's Wish is a grassroots charity based in Geelong, that supports children and young people who have lost a parent because of a death. Currently, Wombat’s Wish is the only specialist service that offers professional support to these children in Victoria. This is a challenging time for them and their family, potentially resulting in long-term emotional health problems. We assist bereaved children to find a way to live with loss and grief, move forward and take the next steps on their bereavement journey. Wombat's Wish is based on the successful and highly regarded Winston's Wish program in the UK. Wombat's Wish operates this valuable service, providing weekend camps for children and the surviving parent/carer and 1:1 or group counselling support at no cost to the families or children. The service is therapeutic, and provided by a team of professional facilitators (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, youth workers) in conjunction with trained and qualified volunteers.
