The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia is currently working with a lead pharmacist (or ‘champion’) in the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, and Goulburn regions to facilitate timely access to appropriate end of life medicines by having these medicines readily available in pharmacies.
This free initiative provides training for community pharmacists regarding symptom management, core palliative care medicine lists, and other resources. Pharmacy networks will strengthen the palliative care multidisciplinary team and enhance care coordination.
A partnership between La Trobe University and Palliative Care NSW is bringing a public health approach to palliative and end of life care in South Eastern NSW.
Capacity Help is a free program which aims to increase community awareness of the supports and services available in relation to loss, ageing, dying, and grief. It seeks to improve collaboration between health providers, not-for-profit organisations, volunteers, and government, with a focus on demystifying death.
Waminda, the South Coast Women's Health & Welfare Aboriginal Corporation, provides a free community-based palliative and end of life care program aiming to improve coordinated care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Shoalhaven.
The program strengthens capacity through training and credentialing three Aboriginal health workers in palliative and end of life care, and provides resources to communities and their health care workers. Find out more.
The Consumer and Carer Relief at End of Life – Phase 2 (CCREOL) is a joint initiative between Palliative Care NSW, Southern NSW Local Health District, and COORDINARE.

Dr Sue Rainsford from Australian National University (ANU) is currently piloting the use of case conferencing in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) to enhance end of life care in Cooma, Berridale, and Bombala.

The Multicultural Communities Council of the Illawarra (MCCI) promotes advance care planning to people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds through their 'Think, Talk, Record' approach.
