Today is Police Remembrance Day. On this day, we pay tribute and honour the brave members of the Police forces in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty, as a result of their service, and those who are currently serving. We also remember those New Zealand Police staff serving and retired, sworn and non-sworn, who have died in the past year.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities and our country. Your courage, commitment, and sacrifice are not unnoticed, and we are grateful for your service.

Grief has no timetable. It can arrive suddenly, resurface years later, or quietly walk alongside us in everyday moments. As we step into spring, a season of renewal and remembrance, we’re reminded that while new life blossoms, it’s also a time to pause and remember those we hold in our hearts.

The Grief Centre, is a charitable trust, offering a safe, compassionate space where you can share, learn, and find support in the way that feels right for you. From one-on-one counselling to group sessions, workshops, and resources, their team is there to walk with you through every season of loss and healing.

If you or someone you know could benefit from support, please reach out.

You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Our services provide loss and grief support to anyone experiencing a significant or difficult life situation.

Good news for NZ families!
From 24 Sept 2025, the probate threshold jumps from $15k to $40k – meaning many small estates can now be settled without the High Court.
✅ A valid will is still essential.
