Today is Dying to Know Day is. It's an annual campaign in Australia focused on encouraging open conversations about death, dying, and end-of-life planning. The day aims to destigmatize these topics and empower individuals to make informed choices about their end-of-life wishes.

25/02/2025

It became evident to the team at Briese Lawyers that many of our over 55’s were not aware of the varied support, services & opportunities that were available to them.

From this in 2018 we began the FREE community event “MAINTAINING CHOICE IN YOUR SENIOR YEARS” seminar & mini expo, which has been held in various formats (with some covid interuptions) ever since. We are delighted to be bringing this event to our community again in 2025. Seats are limited, Bookings Essential!

TODAY IS DYING TO KNOW DAY

ABOUT DYING TO KNOW DAY
Dying to Know Day is a national annual campaign culminating on August 8th
that’s aimed at shifting the narrative around death, dying and end of life
planning. The campaign seeks to shine a light on the transformative power of
community to help dissolve the discomfort of talking about death and dying
and inspire individuals to talk about their own unique final arrangements and
‘get dead set.’

This year’s theme and focus is all about personalising final arrangements and
building community! Dying to Know Day is hoping to facilitate meaningful
conversations among individuals from diverse communities, encouraging each
person to share their unique stories, ideas and opinions on what truly matters
in their end of life plans. In return, the campaign hopes to empower Australians
to feel supported and inspired by their own wishes for their final arrangements
and help to dismantle the misconception that end of life planning must be a
solitary endeavour.

We are proud to raise awareness about Organ Donation! This week is Donate Life Week and here are some words from the Donate Life Network.

"DonateLife Week is our national awareness week that takes place in July each year to encourage more Australians to get behind organ and tissue donation. This year DonateLife Week is taking place from Sunday 28 July - Sunday 4 August 2024.

We know that 4 in 5 Australians say they support donation, but only approximately 1 in 3 (36%) are registered to be a donor on the Australian Organ Donor Register (AODR).

In 2024, we want all Australians to register as organ and tissue donors and be the reason someone else gets a second chance at life.
Help us spread the word about organ and tissue donation by getting your local sports club, workplace, cafes, friends, family, and community involved."
