Palliative care is centred on quality of life, thanks to support that is compassionate, selfless and dignified. We’ve been caring for people with cancer and their loved ones at our Palliative Care Unit, since 1973. We have expertise that is immediately evident to those who we care for during this important time.
Holistic support for you and your family
We focus on supporting your comfort and wellbeing throughout the entire cancer journey, including the final months, weeks and days.
Taking advantage of our palliative care services has many benefits, including:
- A holistic approach that helps ensure the psychological, emotional, social and spiritual needs of you and your family are met.
- Access to a team of healthcare professionals that’s focussed on you.
- Optimising your quality of life.

- Managing any symptoms related to your illness.
