LGBTQIA+ Resources

Welcome to our LGBTQIA+ dedicated page which provides resources and information about palliative care.

Facing end of life decisions for yourself, or a loved one can be a difficult and emotional experience, which is why we aim to offer a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQI community to access support and guidance.

Our resources aim to provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions about palliative care.

Together with PCV, the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council (AGMC) have produced three short videos which provide an introduction to palliative care for members of the Australian LGBTQIA+ multicultural and multifaith community.

You can view the videos below:

AGMC is the national peak body for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer individuals and community groups of multicultural and multifaith backgrounds.
