Palliative care workshops – in person
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 workshops?
Our in-person palliative care community workshops are one-hour long and cover:
- What is palliative care?
- Who provides palliative care?
- Services and resources
- Compassionate communities
- Grief and loss
- The role of advance care planning in palliative care.
These workshops complement the Advance Care Planning workshops that are available online and in person.

You can talk to us about partnering with us to host a face-to-face palliative care workshop for your community or organisation. It can be exclusively for your audience, or we can promote the workshop more widely and open it up to others in the general community. We come to you, and we can provide a customised workshop to suit your audiences.
