Palliative Care Australia National Awards 2017

The National Awards are aimed at recognising innovation, teamwork and emerging talent in the palliative care sector. The awards recognise the efforts of those who support and care for people who are dying through public recognition of organisations and individuals who provide support and care to those people.

A special thank you to the National Home Doctor Service as the National Palliative Care Awards partner for 2017. Their generous contribution took these awards to new heights and offered these talented individuals and teams an even stronger platform and capability to continue their invaluable care and careers in palliative care.
