As partners in the Strategy, Commonwealth, state and territory governments, palliative care service providers and advocacy groups in all Australian states and territories are committed to supporting the development and provision of best practice palliative care that is available across Australia to those who need it, so that people who are dying have access to an appropriate service, at the right time, and in the right place.
The Strategy has three goals:
1. Awareness and understanding:
To improve community and professional awareness and understanding of, and professional commitment to, the role of palliative care practices in supporting the care needs of people who are dying and their families of care.2. Quality and effectiveness:
To support continuous improvement in the quality and effectiveness of all palliative care service delivery across Australia.3. Partnerships in care:
To promote and support partnerships in the provision of care for people who are dying and their families, and the infrastructure for that care, to support delivery of high quality, effective palliative care across all settings. Objectives and strategies to achieve each of these goals are set out in the following pages.National Palliative Care Strategy October 2000
