About us

The Violet Initiative is a social enterprise that positively impacts the last stage of life so that more Australians are better prepared to die well.

Many Australians are not having the end of life experience they want or deserve. Half of the 100,000 predictable deaths each year have regretful outcomes - when things don’t go as planned, or there is no plan. Regret is a very personal emotion, but it carries widespread costs for families, businesses, the health system and society.

These costs add up to $1billion posing a challenge that only increases with our ageing population.

Violet guides people through the last stages of a loved one’s life. By helping people be better prepared for what tomorrow may bring, they can become more resilient to the vulnerabilities of this stage of life. We deliver targeted and complementary non-clinical support for the caregivers of people in the last stage of their life, supporting acceptance, planning and communication.
