Palliative Care

Palliative care is provided as an inpatient service and a specialised community-based service where staff visit clients in the home. The overall approach to care is a multidisciplinary one.

The inpatient unit has 43 beds and accommodates patients with non-curable illnesses who may be admitted for pain and symptom management, respite care or terminal care.

The community-based service is delivered by the community palliative care team which provides a consultative and support service within the client's home environment 24 hours a day, seven day a week.
