We are thrilled to be holding our first Education Day since 2019. Please join us for a day of learning and networking, face-to-face with your friends and colleagues.

About this event
National Palliative Care Week (NPCW), held from 22 – 28 May 2022, is Australia’s largest annual awareness-raising initiative held to increase understanding of the many benefits of palliative care.

The theme “it’s your right” seeks to raise awareness about the rights of all Australians to access high-quality palliative care when and where they need it.
