Several ongoing and recently completed projects are focused on developing resources to support palliative care and end-of-life care for older Australians. The Department of Health and Aged Care funds various national palliative care initiatives and programs aimed at improving the quality of palliative care services and providing greater support to people at the end of life, along with their families and carers.
Advance Care Planning Australia
Advance Care Planning Australia is a national project funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. It empowers Australians to make informed choices about their future health and care. The project provides resources, including links to state and territory-specific legislation and an Advance Care Planning Improvement (ACPI) Toolkit.
Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, an Australian Government Department
Provides information for service providers and service users to understand their options to give feedback, raise a concern or make a complaint about any of the care and services provided by an Australian Government-subsidised aged care service. The Commission accepts confidential and anonymous complaints.
My Aged Care
My Aged Care is the key government website for accessing Australian Government-funded care services. It serves as a central hub for information on aged care, including how to connect with services, guidance for both service providers and recipients, and details on service quality. The website also offers information on providing feedback and lodging complaints.
We invite you to share other Australian information and resources that support palliative care in aged care. Please send your suggestions to palliaged@flinders.edu.au
