Campaign Background
Over the coming months Palliative Care Victoria (PCV) will develop Victoria’s key palliative care priority areas and a draft budget.
The next Victorian State Government election is scheduled for 28 November 2026.
Victoria’s key palliative care priority areas and a draft budget will be shared with the respective political parties in October 2025 to support the development of informed policies and budgets for palliative care in Victoria for the next four years and ongoing.
Both the key palliative care priority areas and budget will be informed by PCV members, health professionals, the community, volunteers, partner organisations with palliative care touch points and palliative care service providers across Victoria.
We have begun our community consultation with the Victorian Palliative Care Consortiums and Partner organisations that have palliative care touch points in their service. We will also be meeting with palliative care services, volunteers, and the community (via Compassionate Communities forums) to capture their palliative care priorities and personal stories over the campaign.
