Council is holding a free end-of-life planning drop-in information session at Bombala Council Office on Friday 19 September 2025 from 10am to 12pm.
Local service providers are joining staff from Council's cemeteries team to raise awareness and share information with the public, as part of the national Dying to Know Day awareness campaign.
All are welcome, with free advice on offer about wills and estate planning, funeral services, burial and interment, and everything you need to know to plan ahead.
This is the second event Council is organising in the region as part of the 2025 campaign. Following a big turnout at the first event in Cooma last month, the decision was made to give Bombala-area residents the opportunity to access this important community resource.
Launched in 2013, Dying to Know Day takes place each year on 8 August, encouraging people across Australia to have honest and empowering conversations about end-of-life-planning.
The theme for 2025 is Nobody Knows, with this year's campaign highlighting the importance of telling your loved ones about your end-of-life wishes.
Research from YouGov in 2022 showed that only about half of us are comfortable talking with family about end-of-life. Don't wait until it's too late. This Dying to Know Day, make time to have the conversation. It'll be the secret you're glad you shared.
You'll not only be helping ensure that your wishes are known, but also helping your friends and family to honour your legacy and celebrate your memory too.
Stop by for a chat about end-of-life planning at Bombala Council Office from 10 am to 12pm on Friday 19 September 2025.
