About Dying to Know:
Dying to Know is a national campaign to inspire you to begin to prepare for the inevitable, not with fear, but with purpose, love, and a sense of legacy.
Introducing our Campaign: Nobody Knows
Nobody Knows is a cheeky, irreverent campaign designed to expose the absurdity of keeping your end-of-life wishes a secret. Because not telling anyone your final wishes is chaotic, confusing, and worst of all creates guesswork and potential family division.
At its core, Nobody Knows ‘The Secret I’m Glad I Shared’ is a call-out.
Because if Nobody Knows your final wishes, they never will. Share them now.
This year, we’re shining a light on the power of intergenerational conversations. Why? Because only *53% of Australians feel comfortable talking to a family member about their end-of-life. Spoiler alert: 100% of us will face the end one day. So, we’re creating welcoming spaces for all generations to come together, share their wishes, and have the meaningful conversations that matter most.
Dying to Know Day has been a national day of action, originally on August 8 extending throughout the month of August with hundreds of hosts around Australia holding gatherings aimed to normalise conversations about death, dying and grief, encouraging individuals to learn about, discuss, and plan for their own end-of-life, and to support others in doing the same. We welcome these meaningful conversations in any location or setting.
Dying to Know Day has expanded to an always-on year-round campaign under our Dying to Know brand.
