Palliative and End-of-Life Care

We’re here for Mob 

Palliative and End-of-Life Care is advanced care for Mob with life-limiting or terminal illness. 

This is a culturally responsive and holistic family centered service for Mob to support their goals and wishes and optimise quality of life and comfort.  

Our team walks alongside you, and your family, to access services, manage your symptoms and empower you to make deadly choices about your wellbeing and care now, and as your needs change.  

Everyone’s journey is different. The Palliative and  End-of-Life Care team will cater to you and your family’s individual needs and wishes.   

We will be with you throughout your journey and provide support including: 

  • accessing appropriate clinical care 
  • advice and advocacy 
  • diagnosis support 
  • cultural, social and emotional support, for your overall wellbeing 
  • outreach support – wherever you’re most comfortable 
  • sorry business.

Our team of care coordinators, nurses and general practitioners will assist you to access services best suited to your needs and wishes. This may be mental health support, at home care, family support workers, physiotherapists, a dietician and more. We will work with you, your family and care team to achieve the best outcomes for you.  

Your care pathway will depend on what is going on for you.   

One of our deadly care coordinators will yarn with you and your family to work out what care and support you are after. Then we will guide you through the next steps that are best suited to you.   

If you are supporting Mob with life limiting or terminal illness, it’s also important to ensure you are looking after yourself.
