What is palliative care?
Palliative care, or supportive care, is all about making life better for people and their families when they have a serious illness.
The main goal of treatment for people who choose palliative care is to help them and their families have a good quality of life during this time.
Palliative care has a holistic approach to caring and supports the spiritual, cultural, emotional, social, psychological and physical needs of the patient and their family.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners/Custodians of these lands, in the spirit of reconciliation.
We recognise that First Nations peoples have cared for Country for millennia and seek to learn from both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing.
We acknowledge that sovereignty of this land was never ceded and pay our respects to First Nations Elders – Past, Present and to emerging young leaders who will carry their heritage, customs, language and cultural practices into the future.
