Welcome

Thank you for participating in this survey being conducted by Holistic End-of-Life & Death Care Australia (HELD) to better understand the Australian End-of-Life Doula sector*. The information collected will help inform workforce planning, credentialing, advocacy, and future initiatives that support practitioners across Australia.

Your insights will help strengthen the future of end-of-life care in Australia.

The Survey has three parts and will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete:
  1. Training and Employment
  2. End-of-Life Doula role, work settings and credentialing system
  3. Demographic Questions
*For the purposes of this survey, an End-of-Life Doula (EOLD) refers to a non-clinical practitioner who provides emotional, practical, educational, spiritual, and/or advocacy support to people approaching the end of life, as well as to their families and those who are grieving. End-of-Life Doulas may also contribute to community education, helping to improve death literacy and encourage open conversations about death, dying, and grief.
Throughout this survey, the term End-of-Life Doula (EOLD) is used as an umbrella term that also includes practitioners who identify as Death Doulas, Deathwalkers, or other similar titles.

Your responses are confidential. HELD will only publish aggregated, de-identified data. No individual responses will be shared with third parties. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Karin Ulrich at projects@held.org.au.
