About Us
SANDS (Qld) Inc. provides a range of services to parents, families, healthcare professionals and workers in allied industries.
SANDS came into being in 1983 when a small group of parents gathered in each others lounge rooms to support one another after they had experienced the death of their babies. From those humble beginnings SANDS has expanded to a staffed office with a number of different support services.
At SANDS there are people who understand what it's like because they too have been through this experience. SANDS offers support and information for anyone affected by the death of a baby.
SANDS offers empathy, understanding and the opportunity to talk, listen and share experiences in a safe, non-judgemental and caring environment. Everyone grieves differently and has different needs so SANDS offers a wide range of support services.
