Sponsors
Richard Lockwood has been a highly appreciated supporter of Palliative Care WA for five years. This year, Richard Lockwood’s generous support will enable us to facilitate three country satellite events for our annual sector breakfast in National Palliative Care Week 2025 on 13 May – in Bunbury, Albany and, for the first time, Pingelly.
Palliative Care WA is very grateful for Richard’s substantial support which will assist us to take our messages to regional communities and enable those working in palliative care in these three regions – South West, Great Southern and the Wheatbelt – to be part of this annual palliative care sector educational and networking event.
Through Richard Lockwood, Palliative Care WA is able to reach and connect at the grassroots level, building knowledge and connections to enable capacity development in local palliative care support.
We are also extremely grateful for the following sponsors, who support us so often. They are: Parkinson’s Western Australia, Silverchain, Brightwater, St John of God Health Care, Cares Communities, PaSCE and Bethesda Health Care.
In addition, we would also like to acknowledge Lotterywest for their funding.
