Parliamentary Friends of Palliative Care live webcast 

What is palliative care? It’s more than you think. 

 (Held) Wednesday 26 May - 12pm midday AEST 

What do Australians know and understand about palliative care, and does community understanding about palliative care and its benefits, present a barrier to accessing timely care?
