It’s time to take out or renew your Palliative Care WA membership for 2026/27
Your membership plays an important role in enabling us to represent and connect the palliative care sector across Western Australia, and to advocate for better access, coordination and outcomes for people at end of life.

Donate today!
Palliative Care WA also gratefully accepts tax deductable donations.
Every dollar goes to practical, on-the-ground work. A modest donation can help us run a free Advance Care Planning workshop in the community, giving people the confidence to make and communicate their wishes. It can also support our Lasting Words program—helping someone capture their life story in a way their family can hold onto.
This is work that matters. It reduces stress on families, helps people stay in control, and helps ensure that care aligns with what people actually want.
Palliative Care WA is a registered charity and a Deductible Gift Recipient, so donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.
If you would like to contribute, you can donate HERE.
If you have any questions about membership or our work, please contact us on 1300 551 704 or info@palliativecarewa.asn.au.
