  • July 5, 2022

NAIDOC Week is the perfect time for all Australians to watch and learn from these fantastic series of animation made by the Indigenous Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (IPEPA)

Featuring the voice of the multi-talented and well-respectedΒ comedian, Sean Choolburra, these innovative videos draw on humour to help demystify and destigmatise palliative care and dying for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

There are 5 short videos that follow our hero β€˜Sean’ as he embarks on a journey of understanding palliative care; exploring different aspects of what happens when we are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness.

To watch the unique videos, please click on thisΒ playlist
