The National Association for Loss & Grief (NSW) Inc Incorporated was founded in 1977 after the Granville train disaster.  In 2007, we commemorated the 30th Anniversary of the foundation of the National Association for Loss & Grief (NSW) Inc.

The Granville train disaster on 18th January 1977 changed the focus on trauma, loss and grief to NSW.  To download a short history by life member Geoffrey Glassock given at the 30th Anniversary Dinner click here.
