Supporting people to receive quality and timely end-of-life care

Palliative care at home can help people to spend their final days where they feel most comfortable, surrounded by the people and things they love.

caring@home resources support health professionals to assist carers and families and carers to provide personal care and help manage end-of-life symptoms when caring for someone at home. The resources are applicable Australia-wide for clinical services, health professionals and carers and families.

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