Dying Well community forum
Join us for a community forum to explore local and international perspectives on what it means to die well and what is needed to increase our focus on end of life care.
Monday 9 September 2019, 6:30 to 8:00pm
The University Club Auditorium, UWA
In this community forum you will hear about what has led our expert panel to work in the arena of palliative care as well as their perspectives on what it means to die well.
And you will have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas on what you think makes a good death.
Thanks to a generous benefactor we are able to provide this event free of charge. Registrations are essential – Bookings via Eventbrite.

READ MOREYou only die once
Palliative Care WA has launched You only die once, Australia’s first consumer awareness campaign on Advance Care Planning.
You only die once challenges people to see death as an important part of life and therefore worthy of consideration and planning. It asks people to have early conversations with family, friends and carers around their preferences for their end of life care.
The campaign includes TV and radio advertising, online videos on our YouTube channel and social media. A dedicated website www.youonlydieonce.com.au provides a guide to Advance Care Planning and a resources hub for people to utilise.
