Dying to Know Day is an annual campaign that empowers all adult Australians to be strong self-advocates for their own personal planning when it comes to their future.
During August, adults at all stages of life are encouraged to take individual action, hold events, gatherings at home, and much more, all to improve their knowledge around choices for their end-of-life. Throughout the website you’ll find helpful guides, toolkits and resources to support taking action to ‘get dead set’ and having conversations with the people most important to you about your unique choices and wishes for your end-of-life.

EVENT PROGRAM:
Swedish Death Cleaning Workshop
Not as morbid as it sounds, actually quite practical. A workshop on the Swedish practice of getting rid of all the stuff you don’t need anymore — so that no one else has to do it for you when you die or downsize.
