Getting Started Guide

Welcome to the Grief Australia Member Community, a space to connect, share and learn with others who understand grief and bereavement. Explore at your own pace and engage in whatever way suits you.

To get started, try these four steps:

  1. Update your profile with your photo and details.
  2. Join a community that matches your interests or areas of expertise.
  3. Ask or answer a question in a discussion forum and share insights with your peers.
  4. Connect with others through the Member Directory and build your network.

1. Update Your Profile



Updating your profile helps you connect with peers who share your interests, expertise and experience. To add a photo and other details, go to Profile > My Profile from the main navigation bar. Select the Actions drop-down under your photo or avatar and choose Change Picture.

While you are there, check your Privacy Settings, found under the My Account tab on your profile, to make sure your profile visibility is set the way you want.

These steps help you build connections with other members and get more from your Grief Australia membership.

You can choose how the community contacts you by customising your notification preferences. From your profile page, go to My Account > Community Notifications and select how you want to receive updates, whether that is real-time, a daily digest or a consolidated digest. Then visit Email Preferences to choose which categories of emails you want to receive.

While you are there, check your Privacy Settings to manage what other members can see about you.

These settings let you decide how the community reaches you, so you stay informed without extra emails you do not want.
