Business / Provider Profile
The Australian Government Department of Health funds a range of national palliative care projects to enhance the quality of palliative care service delivery and increase support for people who are dying, their families and carers. The overall aim is to improve access to high quality palliative care for all Australians as they require it.
The Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA) forms part of the Palliative Care Education and Training Collaborative. As a national palliative care project, this Collaborative takes a strategic approach to education and training of the health workforce and delivers programs for priority health care provider groups across primary, secondary and tertiary settings.
Specifically, PEPA aims to enhance the capacity of health professionals to deliver a palliative care approach through their participation in either clinical placements in specialist palliative care services or interactive workshops.
PEPA provides opportunities to develop confidence, knowledge and skills in the palliative approach to care through:
funded clinical workforce placements or workshops
integration of learning into your workplace
establishing networks of support
