We need to prepare for the future, now!
Palliative Care Victoria is asking all Victorian political parties to commit to investment in palliative care, to meet the rapidly rising demand.
This commitment will mean that all Victorians with a life-limiting illness, and their families can live, die and grieve well.

Advocacy on behalf of our members
To ensure that Palliative Care Victoria is advocating effectively on behalf of its membership, a survey was undertaken in March/April 2022. Despite Victorian Health being in a Code Brown, the return rate was 40.5%. KPMG were engaged to undertake the analysis and prepare the report entitled ‘The sustainability of palliative care in Victoria’.
