Draft Spiritual Care Framework for Palliative Care in Victoria
A Spiritual Care Forum held by the La Trobe University Palliative Care Unit and Palliative Care Victoria in October 2010 recommended the development of a spiritual care framework for palliative care in Victoria.
Dr Bruce Rumbold, La Trobe University Palliative Care Unit, and Rev. Cheryl Holmes, Healthcare Chaplaincy Council of Victoria, have developed a draft framework for spiritual care in Victoria in consultation with members of the Psychological-Spiritual-Social Planning Group. This was discussed at a workshop held on 16th November 2011.

Feedback is invited on the draft framework. This can be done by completing a short online survey. Click here to access the survey.
The responses to the survey, along with feedback from the workshop, will be considered in further development of the framework and its implementation.
