Palliative care
Our nursing team provides compassionate palliative care at home, focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. We support pain and symptom management, work alongside your palliative care specialists and family, and provide the reassurance that comes from experienced, caring nurses who understand how important it is to get support right at this time.
How our nurses can help

Working with specialist palliative care
In Victoria, community palliative care services provide specialist support at home, and we work alongside them. You can read more in the Better Health Channel information on palliative care at home, or visit Palliative Care Victoria.
Support for family and carers
Caring for someone at home can be exhausting. Our respite care can give family carers a break, and our social workers can help with the practical and emotional side of things.
