Dying to Know Day 2026

Nobody Knows Unless You Share

Dying to Know Day encourages Australians to have meaningful conversations about death, dying, grief and what matters most. Sharing your wishes today can provide clarity, confidence and peace of mind for the people closest to you.

Start the Conversation

Conversations about future wishes don't need to be formal. They can start over a coffee, during a walk, or around the dinner table.

What Matters Most?

Consider what's important to you, who you trust to make decisions, and whether you've shared your wishes with those closest to you.

Plan Ahead

Advance care planning helps ensure your values, preferences and wishes are known and can guide future care decisions.

Live, Die & Grieve Well

Palliative Care South Australia supports South Australians to navigate serious illness, dying, death and grief with confidence and compassion.
