Palliative Care Network
The Palliative Care Network has the brief of implementing the recommendations of Palliative Care in Western Australia: Final Report December 2005 (PDF 773KB) (PC Report). The PC Report includes specific recommendations for an integrated statewide model of palliative care that enables people with life limiting illness – cancer and non-cancer – to have timely access to appropriate care according to their needs.
Election promise funding of $14 million over four years was approved by Cabinet in April 2009 to support the establishment of the Palliative Services Project Fund. The Palliative Care Network will oversee the programs to be implemented with this funding.
A team of project staff collaborates with working groups of clinicians to undertake projects that address the recommendations. The Palliative Care Network Advisory Committee oversees the network's activities.
