💛 R U OK? Day 2026 | Ask R U OK? Any Day 💛

Today is a reminder that a simple conversation can make a world of difference.

At Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated, we know that life can bring grief, illness, caring responsibilities, loneliness and many other challenges. Often, the people who need support the most are not the ones asking for help.

If someone is on your mind, trust your instinct and reach out.

✅ Ask "Are you OK?"
✅ Listen without judgement
✅ Encourage action if needed
✅ Check in again

You don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is your time, your presence and your willingness to listen.

Because a conversation really can change a life.

💛 If you're thinking it, Ask R U OK? Any Day.

💙 Grief Literacy Matters

Every year, more than 185,000 Australians die, leaving an estimated 1.6 million people experiencing grief and loss. But grief doesn't only come from death. People also experience loss through serious illness, relationship breakdown, financial hardship, loss of independence, and social isolation.

Grief literacy is about understanding how grief affects us and knowing how to support others when they need it most.

By completing the 2026 Death Literacy Index Survey, you'll help us better understand how our community supports people through grief, caregiving, dying and bereavement.

MYTH: Talking about death makes people uncomfortable.

FACT: Research shows that having conversations about death, dying and grief helps people feel more informed, prepared and supported when difficult times arise. Something our 2019 Hospice volunteer cohort pictured below, and all our current and former volunteers, understand well.

Death literacy isn't about focusing on death. It's about helping people make informed choices, support loved ones, navigate grief, and know where to find help when they need it.

💙 That's why Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated is asking our community to complete the 2026 Death Literacy Index Survey.

By sharing your experiences, you'll help us better understand local needs and continue building a more compassionate community.

💙 Busselton is continuing to lead the way in compassionate communities.

With the recent renaming of our community hub at 5 Craig Street to Compassionate Care Geographe, we're reinforcing a simple message: caring for one another through illness, grief, ageing and loss is everyone's business.

Our previous Death Literacy Index Survey showed Busselton scored significantly higher than Australian averages.

Can we do even better in 2026?

Did you know?

Research shows that one of the strongest predictors of death literacy isn't professional training.

It's simply having strong community connections and people you can call on for help.

A compassionate community is everyone's business.

Tell us about your experiences by completing the 2026 Death Literacy Index Survey.
