Speakers and stall holders will include palliative care professionals from a number of organisations including Hunter New England Local Health District, Carers NSW, Palliative Care NSW, BaptistCare NSW/ACT, Beam Health, Hunter Cancer Hub, the Primary Health Network and more.
Australians have a great attitude to life; we want to bring that same openness and curiosity to how we approach end of life and National Palliative Care Week gives us a chance to explore the thinking and conversations that go with it.

What is Palliative Care? In acknowledgement of National Palliative Care Week, The PHN has developed a short educational video to help people understand more about palliative care.
In 2024, National Palliative Care Week runs from Sunday, 19 May to Saturday, 25 May with a host of local events supported by a vibrant social media campaign - allowing Australians to connect with the ‘people at the heart of quality palliative care’ – the doctors, nurses, social workers, volunteers, and many others.
This short survey is for everyone who works or volunteers in any service that provides palliative care in Australia. This includes all people working or volunteering in specialist palliative care services, and those providing palliative care as part of their work in primary care, aged care and other health care settings.
