ACON: An LGBTQ+ Community Death Conversation (Wagga)

  • Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network, Conference Room 185 Morgan Street Wagga Wagga, NSW, 2650 Australia (map)

Although we’re all going to die someday, death has become a taboo topic to discuss in Australian society. But as LGBTQ+ people, we are all about breaking taboos, right?

You are invited to a community discussion about death and dying. Be a part of a relaxed conversation about end-of-life concerns in a safe and welcoming space.

Who is this for?

Lesbian, gay, bi+, trans and queer (LGBTQ) people 18 years or over and People Living with HIV (PLHIV), interested in talking about death.

This is not a bereavement or grief counselling workshop. Whether you want to share your knowledge and experiences, ask questions, or just listen to your community, all are welcome.

What to expect?

  • Explore important questions: What does death mean to you? What does End of Life look like to you? Break the taboo around death and freely discuss topics that may be considered off-limits.

  • Open conversations: This is not a counselling or bereavement support group, rather, an opportunity to hear from our community from all walks of life, including yourself!

  • Share and listen: Share your own thoughts, listen to your community, and hear from LGBTQ+ people working in the death-sector.

  • Morning tea: Share a cuppa and some tasty treats, thoughts and laughter while we create art that helps us discuss death, dying, and end of life.

All conversations will be held with confidentiality, respect and compassion.

Booking essential. Limited attendees.
