What is Palliative Care?
Palliative and End-of-Life Care under the NDIS and Home Care Packages provides essential support for individuals with life-limiting or terminal illnesses, aiming to improve their quality of life and comfort while respecting their wishes and dignity. The services focus on managing symptoms, providing emotional and practical support, and assisting families and caregivers during what can be a challenging time.

These services can be delivered at home, in a hospital, or in a hospice setting, depending on the individual’s wishes and the level of care required.
- Pain and Symptom Management

- Spiritual and Cultural Support
- Practical Assistance
Goals of Palliative and End-of-Life Care
- Comfort and Dignity: Ensuring the individual’s comfort by managing symptoms effectively and preserving their dignity at every stage of care.
- Holistic Care: Addressing not just physical symptoms, but also the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the individual and their family.
- Supporting Autonomy: Empowering individuals to make decisions about their care and ensuring their wishes are respected.
- Family and Caregiver Support: Providing practical, emotional, and spiritual support to the individual’s family, especially caregivers, to manage the demands of care.
How to Access Palliative and End-of-Life Care
- ACAT Assessment: To access government-funded palliative care through a Home Care Package, an individual needs to undergo an assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
- NDIS Planning: For individuals receiving NDIS funding, end-of-life care services must be included in their NDIS plan.
- Private Providers: Families may also choose to access palliative care services privately if additional support or specific services are required.
