Violet

Right now, hundreds of thousands of Australians are supporting someone they love through the later stages of life. Most of them are figuring it out alone.

Almost 9 in 10 feel unprepared. 8 in 10 don't know where to start.

Violet matches carers with a Guide who has been through something similar. The conversations happen over the phone, at no cost. Their Guide listens, helps them make a plan, and makes sure they feel less alone and more prepared for what lies ahead.

We've already supported more than 50,000 Australians. But there are so many more families who need someone in their corner.

With the end of financial year approaching, your tax-deductible donation can help us reach them.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to become a carer.

It happens gradually. The extra phone calls. The driving to appointments. The quietly doing more and more until one day you look up and realise — this is your life now.

And somewhere in that shift, you may have noticed that parts of you went a little quiet. The things you used to do for yourself. The plans you used to make. The version of your life that existed before this one.

That doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means you're human — and you're carrying something significant.

At Violet, we support not just the person being cared for, but the person doing the caring. Because you matter in this too. 💜

Australia is one of the least prepared countries in the world for death.

Not because we don't love the people we're losing.

Because we don't talk about it.

We talk around it. We use words like "passing" and "gone" and "not long now." We change the subject. We tell ourselves there's more time.

And then suddenly, there isn't.

At Violet, we believe that talking about death - honestly, openly, before the crisis - is one of the most loving things a family can do.

Violet is here for families who are ready to have that conversation. 💜

We're glad you're here.
