Membership fees contribute to our ability to be a strong, independent and collective voice for the sector and ensure that our policy and advocacy positions reflect that of our members and the broader community.
🧡 The Board of Palliative Care WA is mindful of the cost-of-living pressures community members are under so have decided to drastically reduce the cost of membership. Individual memberships are now only $40 for individuals including GST, and FREE for concessional members (seniors, concession card holders, full-time students and volunteers). Last year fees were $105 and $53. 🧡
The need for a strong voice to represent palliative care is greater than ever. The delivery of quality palliative care is being impacted by an ageing population with increasingly complex health conditions, technological advances in medicine and consumer directed care. An engaged and diverse membership base is critical to capture the needs of those operating in and around the palliative care space. Our membership is drawn from right across the sector and the State. Currently that includes palliative care, aged care and home care providers; health, disability and community service professionals; carers and health consumers; researchers and educators; policy makers; students and volunteers.
We need your support. For more information on the benefits of membership see below.
Palliative Care WA also gratefully accepts donations. Your donation will make a huge difference and will allow us to continue working to ensure that all Western Australians understand, and have equitable access to, quality palliative care. Palliative Care WA is a registered charity and endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient for tax purposes. To donate, please visit here: HERE.
