Helping people live their life comfortably
Palliative care at home can help people who wish to spend their final days where they feel most comfortable, surrounded by the people and things they love.
The resources we’ve created support health professionals to assist carers and families to manage end-of-life symptoms when caring for someone at home. The resources are applicable Australia-wide for clinical services, health professionals and families.
We’ve also got an app featuring standard resources and resources from the Community Palliative Care Resources box and an Indigenous app with resources from the Palliative Care Clinic Box to help you support First Nations patients.
The caring@home project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and led by the Brisbane South Palliative Care Collaborative.
