As a condition of our funding agreement, the NSW Ministry of Health requires the PCNSW Volunteer Support Services Programme to engage in research and report on the state of palliative care volunteering in NSW.

Understanding the context of volunteering helps us to better support services and volunteers and to continue to provide suitable education and resources. Our aim is to help increase the overall capacity of palliative care volunteer services so the people of NSW are better supported at end of life.

This research is especially important in 2022 so we can report on how the COVID19 pandemic has impacted service delivery.

Over the next few weeks we will ask each and every Palliative Care Volunteer Service Volunteer Manager in NSW for data about their service, whether or not you had active volunteers.
