"Live the life you please"

Imagine if we treated end of life the way we treated start of life - if we celebrated with farewell showers, carefully crafted finishing up plans and coming together as a community. If it was about comfort, choice, independence, family, joy, love wellbeing.

In Australia, expectant mothers are well supported throughout their entire pregnancy. They have access to the word’s best care during the birthing process, and their entire young family has access to ongoing support for years after the baby is born. 

What if our health system was better set up to support all of us as we approached the end of our lives? If it gave us everything we needed during our last days to make that experience as “good” as possible, and supported our families after we die? 

This film and campaign aims to improve awareness about palliative care, advocate for increased access to essential palliative care and related health care services for all Australians, and help to start important conversations about living the life you please until the very end.

Come to a special screening of this highly acclaimed film, followed by a panel discussion. And of course, there is always cake!
