Our asks
We are calling on the next Victorian Government to take action to strengthen our state’s palliative and end-of-life care system.
Year 1
Fund and embed a culture of palliative care across Victoria.
What is the need?
Every day, Victorians with life-limiting illness are left without the support they need to die well. There is a lack of consistent understanding, capability, and visibility of palliative care across the broader health system.
Year 2
Improve transitions of care and launch a statewide awareness campaign.
What is the need?
There is no consistent, transparent data on access, outcomes, or service quality in palliative care. Without measurement, progress cannot be demonstrated or improved.
Year 3
Evaluate and measure progress to drive accountability and improvement.
What is the need?
People who need palliative care are too often lost in a fragmented system of silos of practice, inconsistent referral pathways, and unclear eligibility criteria.
