Welcome

What we do:
- Provide support to Tasmanians with a life-limiting illness and their families.
- Educate service providers, carers, volunteers and the community about palliative care and best practice standards.
- Provide information about palliative care services across Tasmania.
- Support continuous development of best practice standards.
- Support workers involved in the care of people who are dying.
