caring@home aims to increase access to quality and timely end-of-life care for patients who choose to be cared for, and die at home, if possible.
caring@home develops and provides nationally consistent, practical and evidence-based clinical resources and education for health professionals. This supports:
- proactive planning for end-of-life care
- families and carers to help manage end-of-life symptoms at home
- patients to be cared for in the place of their choice.
caring@home resources are free of charge and are applicable Australia-wide for clinical services, health professionals, and families and carers.
caring@home is funded by the Australian Government.
Patients or families should contact their local palliative care service or GP about making use of these resources.
