Palliative Care WA delivers a range of free, informative and interactive community education workshops to help people learn more about palliative care.

Palliative care:

  • helps people with any life-limiting or terminal condition to live their life as fully and as comfortably as possible. It is not just for people with cancer
  • identifies and treats symptoms, which may be physical, emotional, spiritual or social
  • provides practical and emotional support to family and carers.
