The Australian health system is a mixture of public and private sector health service providers and a range of funding and regulatory mechanisms. The Australian government has the primary role of developing broad national policies, regulation and funding. The Department of Health and Ageing has identified a number of priorities in developing and maintaining health within Australia.

National projects and initiatives of relevance to palliative care funded outside the National Palliative Care Program are included in this section. These initiatives include:

• CEBPARAC
  Implementation of a comprehensive evidence based palliative approach in Residential Aged Care.
