Nominations are now open for election to the Palliative Care WA Board for 2022. As the peak body for the palliative care sector across the State, Palliative Care WA is member-based, not-for-profit organisation providing an independent and collective voice for palliative care.

By becoming a member of the Palliative Care WA Board you have the chance to make a valuable contribution to our work with both the community and the palliative care, aged care and community services sectors, to ensure access to quality palliative care services for all Western Australians.
There are 10 Board meetings each year, held on the third Tuesday of the month at 4:30pm, with options to attend online when needed.
