About Palliative Care Connect

Palliative Care Connect provides information and links to palliative care and bereavement supports for people with life-limiting illnesses and their family, friends, and carers, as well as health and aged care professionals.

Palliative Care Navigation helps people experience seamless, joined up care and support.

Palliative Care Connect has been funded through a $7.27 million grant from the Australian Government. The goal of the service is to increase access to palliative care and bereavement supports by assisting with smoother transitions between types of care and providing guidance into end-of-life care pathways.

Statewide Palliative Care Navigation and Support

Palliative Care Navigators, available through the phone line, provide palliative care information, service linkages, and empower individuals to make choices aligned with their culture and preferences.

Palliative Care Navigators also support general practitioners and other healthcare professions, including those who work in palliative care units, acute care and aged care services to organise and link people to appropriate palliative care, supports or services.
