National Palliative Care Week will be held from the 11-17 May 2025.
For thirty years, National Palliative Care Week has been the nation’s largest annual discussion about ‘matters of life and death’.
We continue to celebrate people, services and communities at the heart of palliative care in Queensland and across Australia. The theme this year is “What’s your plan?”
