Resources

My Care, My Choices is the Queensland Government’s Advance Care Planning information and resources website.

Caresearch provides advice to patients, family, carers and staff for the best possible supportive care, including: living with illness, care at the end of life, grief and bereavement support.

As this website says – despite being something that touches everyone, death doesn’t receive enough visibility. Dying to Talk aims to help us work out what’s going to be right for them at the end of their lives. It has helpful resources to help Australians of all ages and levels of health to talk about death and dying.

Caring at Home is a support package for carers and aims to support people who wish to be cared for and to die at home. It includes guidance for sub-cutaneous medicines which help alleviate difficult symptoms.

Palliative Care Australia offers a range of supportive resources and advice for staff, patients and families involved in palliative care across Australia, including practical help, such as understanding how to manage your diabetes, your pain medicines and even how to ask your doctor questions about your options.
