The Aged Care Royal Commission made 12 recommendations pointing to the need for palliative care and dementia care to be better understood and better integrated into aged care services. 

Today we hear from three people chipping away at that work through ELDAC – End of Life Directions for Aged Care. 

Deb Parker, Professor of Aged Care and Dementia Nursing at the University of Technology, Sydney and a key contributor to the ELDAC project. 

Rebecca Moore from the Queensland University of Technology, and Project Coordinator with ELDAC’s Linkages Program. 

Ammu Chandran, Clinical Nurse at Sundale at Palmwoods in Queensland. Sundale is a community based, not for profit aged care provider offering care in a range of settings.
