Interested members of the public are welcome to join us for a morning of short presentations from a range of palliative care professionals as well as information trade stalls.

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.
