A set of projects was developed cooperatively by the Department of Health and Ageing and state and territory health departments.

They were designed to  develop, pilot and evaluate approaches of care for palliative care patients living at home and their carers. It is expected that these projects and the new approaches being trialled will influence existing systems to ensure access to community support services for this population group.

Details of the agreed projects can be found on the Department of Health and Ageing's Palliative Care for People Living at Home webpage.

Further information and resources for some projects is available.

• Victorian pilot projects
  • The Role of the Pharmacist in the Community Palliative Care Multidisciplinary Team
  • Improving Access to Palliative Care for People who have had a Stroke and their Carers
