One of our key services for people needing advice on palliative care is the Palliative Care Helpline – 1800 573 299 – available from 9.00am to 5.00pm every day of the year. The Helpline is staffed by caring and experienced professionals who listen and help people of all ages to navigate their way through the challenges presented by end-of-life issues.
Helpline staff have the time to talk it all through, help callers to better understand their situation and the options available, and point them in the right direction to access services or further supports regarding palliative care, end-of-life issues or grief and loss.
We have recently produced a poster that GP surgeries and medical centres, organisations, hospitals and aged care facilities can display to increase awareness of the Helpline.
To order your copy, please contact us via info@palliativecarewa.asn.au or call 1300 551 704. A copy of the poster can also be downloaded HERE.
