Caring for a loved one is both rewarding and challenging, but it comes with significant risks to carers' health and wellbeing.

The Cootamundra community now have more options for end of life care, thanks to a new palliative care room at Adina Care. The room has been funded by Adina Care and the Cootamundra Rotary Club, with equipment donated by Shannon’s Bridge, a charitable organisation which supports families and patients living with a life limiting illness.

The theme for National Palliative Care Week 2019 is ‘What matters most?’ The theme addresses the need for Australians to plan ahead for their end-of-life care and discuss it with their loved ones and health professionals.

Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) has been selected as one of ten PHNs nationally to receive $750,000 in palliative care funding to improve access to safe palliative care and treatment at home.
