Hi everyone
Here in Victoria Australia, we have a National Association for 
Loss and Grief.  To get listed on their books, and your name put 
forward as a Grief Counsellor, you have to have been trained in 
the area.  I did my training through the Centre for Grief and 
Bereavement here in Melbourne, and then did an internship 
providing bereavement counselling through the same place.  This 
consisted of 80 hours supervised counselling with clients of 
their service.  To do that internship, you have to have done one 
of the courses (mine was an intensive certificate), and then of 
course you have to be a social worker, or psychologist or 
professional counsellor of some description.
Hope that helps
Louise.
