12th International Conference on Grief and Bereavement in Contemporary Society
MELBOURNE CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE, AUSTRALIA
13 - 17 JULY 2020
Grief and Bereavement in a changing world: Personal, Social and Global Perspectives
12th International Conference on Grief and Bereavement in Contemporary Society
On Wednesday 18th March 2020, the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a ban on non-essential, indoor gatherings of 100 people or more. The ban is effective as of 5.00pm, Wednesday 18th March 2020. This ban now directly effects the 12th International Conference on Grief and Bereavement in Contemporary Society which was scheduled for July.
Our main priority is ensuring, to the best of our ability, the health, safety and wellbeing off all those involved with the Conference and given the current global concern of COVID-19, we are left with no choice but to cancel the Conference.
We are profoundly disappointed that we will not proceed with the Conference given the excitement we have felt from our Keynotes, Sponsors, Presenters, Delegates and Staff.
We will now begin the work to refund all delegate, masterclass and function registration fees as soon as possible. If you have registered for the conference, please keep an eye on your inbox for further information regarding the refund process.
In addressing the strong interests of our delegates, we are excited to be able to announce that we are still showcasing our Keynote Speakers through an online platform during July 13th – 17th, 2020. As more details come to light, we will be excited to share this with you…so watch this space!
We thank you all for your support and understanding and we wish you all good health and wellbeing over the coming months.
Best Wishes,
Christopher Hall
Chair Organising Committee

Melbourne is a city of culture, coffee, colour and contrasts, and widely regarded as one of the best all-round cities not only in Australia, but on the global stage. It’s an urban metropolis that still retains something of a small-town feel, with an emphasis on the artistic, quality dining and plenty of historic architecture to explore.
This Conference will provide an opportunity to learn from prominent leaders in grief and bereavement care, as well as experiencing the many riches that Melbourne has to offer.
