Dying to Know Day - Rochester

This community event brings together local services, carers, professionals, and neighbours to help us all feel more confident, informed, and supported when navigating grief, ageing, and end‑of‑life care. It’s a chance to learn, ask questions, make connections, and explore the many ways we can care for ourselves and each other.

Throughout the day you’ll be able to meet with a range of organisations and practitioners offering guidance, resources, and practical support, including:

  • Grief support with NALAG, offering compassionate conversations and pathways for healing

  • End of Life Doulas, sharing how they walk alongside individuals and families during major transitions

  • Carer Gateway, providing information for carers who support loved ones at home

  • Carers Victoria - Care Support
  • Palliative Care specialists, available to discuss comfort‑focused care and service options

  • Voluntary Assisted Dying information, helping you understand eligibility, safeguards, and processes

  • Advance Care Planning through My Care Future, supporting you to document your wishes early

  • Legal information to help you navigate wills, powers of attorney, and related matters

  • Respite options for carers needing short‑term support

  • Medication support to help manage treatment safely and confidently

  • Mindfulness and relaxation sessions to encourage calm, grounding, and wellbeing

Whether you’re planning ahead, caring for someone, grieving a loss, or simply curious, this day is designed to offer clarity, comfort, and community.
