The Australian Government funded caring@home to develop resources to support the preparedness of palliative care service providers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The augmented caring@home package for carers, was developed for service providers, to not only provide patient-centred care, but also limit risks of community COVID-19 transmission.

Augmented caring@home package for carers, included an Emergency COVID-19 pack

Activities

The Augmented caring@home package for carers, included an Emergency COVID-19 pack to support carers with short training videos and step-by-step guides about:
