Providing culturally appropriate palliative care: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Resource Kit Project
Implementation Phase (2004-2006)
To ensure that the Resource Kit and the delivery of any training and education associated with this project reflected the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in each jurisdiction, the Australian Government, through the National Palliative Care Program, provided funds to each state and territory government to locally tailor the Resource Kit to meet the needs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities within their jurisdiction. Details on the specific projects can be found on the State and Territory projects page. In addition funds were provided to Wodonga Institute of TAFE to provide a coordinating and supporting role to state and territory project officers.
During the Implementation phase over 3000 copies of the Resource Kit were distributed nationally. During this period Wodonga Institute of TAFE produced a number of additional resources to support project officers. These resources included:
- Posters and pamphlets to promote the Resource Kit
- A Facilitator's Guide
- Power point presentation
- A Resource Directory.
