Welcome to ComPAC
The goal of this project is to develop evidence based guidelines for a palliative approach for aged care in the community. These guidelines will form a companion document to the existing Guidelines for a Palliative Approach in Residential Aged Care which were released in 2005.
The project is funded as part of the Department of Health and Ageing's National Palliative Care Program.
You can find out more about the project by going to one of the project pages described below or by downloading a copy of the project poster. There is an open forum where people are invited to discuss, comment and help in the development of the guidelines.
Drafts guidelines were made available for comment. Changes have now been made to the documents as a result of the public comments received and the documents are now undergoing a final edit.
