Acknowledgments

palliAGED relies on the skills, expertise and generosity of many supporters who work in health and aged care as well as older people and their families. We thank all of them for being willing to partner with us. We would also like to acknowledge the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care who provides funding for this project.

The CareSearch National Advisory Group acts as a reservoir of knowledge, skills and networks for CareSearch/palliAGED.
