Palliative Care Connect launches in South Australia

Palliative Care Connect launches in South Australia

Palliative Care Connect has launched in South Australia, funded by both the Commonwealth and SA State Governments. This initiative will improve access to palliative care and bereavement support services statewide and facilitate smoother transitions between care types.

The service began with the introduction of Palliative Care Navigators, connecting patients with local community support. It is now joined by a user-friendly website, developed in partnership with Flinders University through the leadership of Professor Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch Director. On the site, users can find information on palliative care and bereavement, access a directory of services by location, and use a self-assessment tool to pinpoint needed support.
