Compassionate Employer & Business Recognition Awards - The Compassionate Friends Victoria

Returning to work after the loss of a loved one can be incredibly difficult. Having an employer or a business that offers genuine care and support during this time can make a world of difference.

At TCFV, we believe that workplaces and businesses that go above and beyond to support grieving individuals deserve recognition. The Compassionate Employer & Business Recognition Awards honour employers who have shown exceptional understanding to a grieving employee, as well as businesses that have provided meaningful support to those navigating loss.

If your employer or a business has shown extraordinary kindness and care during your bereavement, we invite you to nominate them for this special recognition. Nominations are open year-round.
