PCA National Champions
Palliative Care Australia (PCA) is pleased to introduce our National Champions.
This group of eminent Australians will grow over time and reflect a range of backgrounds, skills, and experiences with palliative care.
National Champions work with our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer to build strategic alliances that serve the business objectives, values, and mission of PCA.
Relationships are central to our work and success, reach out if you’d like to speak with one of our National Champions – pca@palliativecare.org.au
Let’s see how we can work together to increase access to palliative care and support people and families at the end of life.
