This inaugural event is a deliverable of the Paediatric Palliative Care National Action Plan Project and proudly hosted by Palliative Care Australia (PCA) and Paediatric Palliative Care Australia and New Zealand (PaPCANZ).

The Paediatric Palliative Care Project represents a unique opportunity to build the capacity of the Australian health care system to respond to the specialist needs of infants, children and young people with life-limiting conditions. The project brings together two peak bodies with the capability and content knowledge to deliver outcomes that will be crucial to enhancing palliative care for infants, children and young people. The conference aims to present a comprehensive program to share knowledge, skills and experiences, specifically for paediatric palliative care across Australia and New Zealand.

The Carers NSW Conference 2022: There’s nothing informal about carers, will be held on Wednesday, 12 October 2022.

The conference will explore how important the use of language is when talking about carers, while also taking a deeper dive into some of the impacts that the caring role can have on individuals, families, communities and workplaces.

These impacts extend to areas such as social connectedness, employment opportunities and the overall health and wellbeing of carers. The recent pandemic and natural disasters have only increased these impacts for 'informal' carers.

The conference will also look at how we can improve the outcomes for carers and the people they care for in NSW through increased recognition and support, working better together and across systems, and examining the evidence and being informed.

Registrations will open on Monday 22nd August.
