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. This year we explore what your right to palliative care looks like in Tasmania.

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. One of the great myths about palliative care is that it is only a synonym for end-of-life care. It is so much more than that.  Anyone with a life-limiting illness has the right to live as well as possible, for as long as possible.

To facilitate these conversations, Palliative Care Tasmania and expert guest speakers invite you to attend these informative 2 hour sessions.

Guest Speakers: Palliative Care Tasmania, LI-Ve, Legal Aid Tasmania & CANTEEN
