Palliative Care Self-Assessment (PaCSA)
For Primary, Community, Aged Care and other Specialties
Palliative Care Self-Assessment
PaCSA is designed for specialist palliative care services to support continuous quality improvement.
Aligned with the nine National Palliative Care Standards, PaCSA provides a structured, self-paced approach that enables services and teams to assess current practices, identify gaps and prioritise areas for improvement.
Through the self-assessment process, PaCSA supports services to develop targeted action plans and strengthen the delivery of high-quality palliative and end of life care.
