caring@home aims to increase access to quality and timely end-of-life care for patients who choose to be cared for, and die at home, if possible.

caring@home develops and provides nationally consistent, practical and evidence-based clinical resources and education for health professionals. This supports:

  • proactive planning for end-of-life care
  • families and carers to help manage end-of-life symptoms at home
  • patients to be cared for in the place of their choice. 

caring@home resources are free of charge and are applicable Australia-wide for clinical services, health professionals, and families and carers.

caring@home is funded by the Australian Government and led by the Brisbane South Palliative Care Collaborative.
