Free suicide bereavement support.
Together we’ll find a way.
Losing someone to suicide is complex and can feel overwhelming, isolating and deeply personal.
Our free statewide suicide bereavement support groups located in Tasmania provide a space to connect with others who understand, and to find support in a safe, respectful and confidential environment.

“You don’t have to explain yourself to others in the group...they understand how you feel.”
Albie House began in 2017 with a focus on creating a warm, open and safe space for people bereaved through suicide to come together each month to talk, connect and feel supported. In 2026, Albie House partnered with Relationships Australia Tasmania under the GriefCare Tasmania pathway, a caring network of services here to support you through grief, loss and bereavement.
Here for all
Tasmanians
Honouring Albert
Albie House was created because no one should have to navigate suicide loss alone. We are here to gently walk alongside those navigating the most complex, painful and disorientating experiences a person can face. This vision is shaped by Amanda Cuthbertson’s own experience following the loss of her son, Albert, who died by suicide at just 16. During this incredibly difficult time she understood how isolating that journey can feel and the need to connect with others who understand.
Why we need to talk about suicide prevention in Tasmania
- Tasmania has one of the highest rates of suicide in Australia relative to our small population.
- 9 Australians die by suicide every day.
- Evidence tells us that supporting people who have lost someone through suicide helps prevent future suicides.

Our goals
Short term, we want to grow the support available to those grieving after losing someone to suicide and open more support groups in more areas around Tasmania. We want to spread the word about our offering and become well known in the community so Tasmanians know there is a place to turn to or refer others in need.
Long term, our goal has always been to create a physical house located in Hobart that offers 24/7 non-clinical support to those at risk of taking their life and guidance to the services they require as an individual. This includes transportation to appointments while they reside at Albie House.
