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.
