Palliative care workshops

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.

What is covered in our Palliative Care workshop?

The workshop covers:

• What is palliative care?
• Who provides palliative care?

• Compassionate communities

These workshops complement the Advance Care Planning workshops that are available online and in person.
