Palliative Care Australia (PCA) has produced updated Palliative Care Service Development Guidelines which replace two previous guidelines: Palliative Care Service Provision in Australia: A Planning Guide; and A Guide to Palliative Care Service Development: A Population-Based Approach.

The purpose of the updated Guidelines is to communicate the expectations of PCA for:

• The range of palliative care services that should be available to people living with a life-limiting illness, their families and carers; and
• The workforce and system capabilities required to deliver an effective network of palliative care services using a population-based and geographic approach to service planning.
