Event description

A key element of ageing well is dying well. But many Australians feel ill-equipped for the conversations needed to prepare for their final years, and ensure loved ones are ready for the future.

Join Kylea and her Ageing Well Advisory Committee at this event to learn more about dying, death, grief, and how to create conversations around this important topic that impacts us all. Interactive day of speakers, panel discussions, expo and resources for people to learn more about dying, death and grief. A light lunch will be provided.

Limited disabled parking is available. More parking is available at Westfield Chatswood across the street. The venue is a five-minute walk from Chatswood train station.

Hearing Loop is available for this event.
