Dying to Know Day – Special Edition: Hospice, Community, and Courage with CEO James Jarvis

This week’s episode of the Dying Your Way Podcast brings you a deeply moving and eye-opening conversation with James Jarvis, CEO of Busselton Hospice Inc. and Claire O’Berry’s colleague and supervisor in her volunteer work.

With Dying to Know Day approaching on August 8th, James shares how personal loss and early encounters with grief shaped his lifelong commitment to community development, child protection, and now end-of-life care. The episode explores how Busselton Hospice stands out as a community-led, volunteer-powered model that supports individuals and families emotionally, practically, and spiritually at the end of life.

James and Claire bust common myths about hospice, discuss Australia’s unique aged care system, and introduce a promising social enterprise: “Staying in Place Busselton,” which supports aging at home in the community. They also highlight Busselton Hospice’s Dying to Know Day event on August 8 and the importance of having open, compassionate conversations about death—before it’s too late.

Listen now to be informed, inspired, and reminded that nobody should have to die or grieve alone.
