Australians to ‘get dead set’ on end-of-life, death and dying

Palin Communications is proud to be partnering with leading not-for-profit, The Groundswell Project Australia, on its annual Dying to Know campaign.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we live, die and grieve. The Dying to Know campaign (which culminates on Dying to Know Day on 8 August) aims to improve death literacy and positivity in individuals, communities, healthcare workers and other professionals through local and community events.

This year’s campaign asks Australians to ‘get dead set’ around death and dying by prioritising compassionate conversations and taking simple steps around end-of-life planning in a way that is right for them.

“Death is often over-medicalised and institutionalised. We thrilled to be working with the Palin Communications team to normalise conversations around death and dying,” says Cherelle Martin, Dying to Know Campaign Manager at The Groundswell Project Australia. “This campaign aims to strengthen our collective approach to these matters and ensure end-of-life experiences are aligned with an individual’s values and wishes.”

Join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #GetDeadSet and #DyingToKnowDay. Visit www.dyingtoknowday.com to learn more.

Being interviewed by journalists or being included in news stories as what is known in the media industry as “talent” is unfamiliar territory for the vast majority of clinicians and medical experts.

There will always be instances in business where timelines are short.It might be that regulatory approval has moved more quickly than expected. Or perhaps some political development has catapulted your product or issue into the immediate spotlight. Perhaps a new source of funding or a fixed grant is tied to a short-term communications deliverable.
