Raising awareness, providing practical resources during Palliative Care Week

Raising awareness, providing practical resources during Palliative Care Week

23 May 2024

SWSPHN partnered with local Aboriginal Elders, the Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council and South Western Sydney Local Health District to develop the booklet which was first launched in 2021.

 

Staff gather to learn more about Palliative Care Week and celebrate the launch of the updated A Journey in Sorry Business booklet.

A Journey into Sorry Business supports First Nations people to share their wishes and preferences for their end-of-life care through ‘sorry business’ – cultural practices and protocols associated with death.

Staff enjoyed a morning tea and heard from Kate Noble from our Integration and Priority Population team, who holds the palliative care portfolio.

Kate talked about the booklet and how Palliative Care Australia is highlighting the growing need to educate and empower Australians about quality of life towards the end-of-life.

You can download the booklet from our website or request a hard copy by emailing pomp@swsphn.com.au.
