A calm place to start
Whether you have had difficult news, you are caring for someone who is very unwell, or you are finding your way after a loss, 18December is here to help. It is a calm, practical companion for what comes next, built by people who have been through it themselves. The guides, the checklist and the specialist finder are free to use, and you can start right now.
You can pick up whatever part you need. There is no right order and no wrong place to start.
Guidance on the practical things that come next, at your own pace. Nothing you have to do all at once.
Tools for the appointments, the medications and the paperwork, so you can carry a little less in your head.
A clear, step-by-step path through registering the death, notifying people, and settling an estate.
When you are ready, there are tools to keep documents, medications and family records together in one secure place. The guidance is always free, and nothing here is ever urgent.
18December began when its founder, Pierre, cared for his partner Mark through a terminal illness. Together they wrote down everything that had to happen, the things no one tells you until you are in it. That became this platform. It is the reason it feels less like a website and more like being walked through by someone who understands. Your information stays in Australia, and it is yours to take with you at any time.
Take whatever you need, whenever you are ready.
