This annual day of action is dedicated to activating conversations and community actions around death, dying and bereavement.

Now in its twelfth significant year, it is important to explain that the national campaign known as Dying to Know Day, is more than just a ‘day’. It is a transformational campaign borne out of significant, strategic work focusing on ensuring that people have access to a good death, and that their wishes are at the forefront for others. The goal has always been to ensure that those who face the end of their lives, have their own wishes and experiences honoured by those who care, including the community within which they live.

Dying to Know Events – ‘Don’t let your end of life wishes go unspoken‘

This August for Dying to Know Month we are:

• supporting an event on 23rd August at the Ballarat Central Library. For more information or to register for this free event click here.
• distributing ‘final arrangements starter packs’ – via GP’s, local libraries, your local palliative care service provider or by contacting us.

We used to talk about death. To prepare and plan for a future without us. It provided comfort and security for everyone involved, and drew us close together when we needed it most. The conversation was an act of love, bearing witness to a life well lived, and simply having it, could open doors to the soul.
