In partnership with the Death Literacy Institute, Palliative Care Tasmania wants to understand how Tasmanians feel about death, dying, grief and loss.

 This is crucial, because many people feel unprepared to deal with these inevitable experiences.

Here’s the reality facing Australians:

  • Only 20% know how to navigate the healthcare system for someone dying or needing aged care.
  • Just 33% feel confident navigating the funeral industry.
  • Half of us don’t know where to find information on palliative care, and even fewer (22%) know how to access it locally.

Now it’s Tasmania’s turn to share their thoughts.

This survey will help us understand how Tasmania compares to the rest of Australia. By participating, you’ll be contributing to creating resources and support that empower people, communities, and organisations to navigate end-of-life issues with confidence.

Take the survey and share your knowledge. Your voice matters. 

The findings will be shared once completed. Together, we can create a more informed and supported Tasmania when it comes to death, dying, and grief.
