Shannon's Bridge, via a grant from the Victorian Government's End-of-life Ancilary Service program, will fund the production and distribution of 3,500 caring@home carer packages for community services who care for palliative patients in Victoria. 

This partnership will enable more choice for terminally-ill Victorians who wish to be cared for and to die at home.  

Dr. Hepper writes on her experience with community-based palliative care in regional Victoria, involving carers in the management of breakthrough symptoms and the relevance of the caring@home package for carers and related resources in breaking down barriers to home-based care for terminally-ill people.
