The National Palliative Care Standards and PaCSA tool make it easier for those working in aged care, a rural clinic or the community to deliver the best care.

  • The Standards: A clear, person-centred framework for high-quality care—relevant across all settings and aligned with national accreditation.
  • PaCSA: A free, practical self-assessment tool to help teams reflect, identify strengths, and plan improvements—one step at a time.

Why use them?

  • Guide team discussions and service planning
  • Support professional development
  • Align with broader quality and safety standards
  • Drive real, meaningful change—no matter your setting

Allied health professionals:
PaCSA helps you highlight your impact, strengthen collaboration, and advocate for inclusive, holistic care.

How to get started:

  • Use PaCSA in team meetings or for self-reflection
  • Set small, achievable goals
  • Focus on continuous improvement—not just ticking boxes
