Northern Health - Palliative Care

At Northern Health, palliative care is provided by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, either at their inpatient Palliative Care Unit in Epping, or by the Palliative Care Consultation Service at all other Northern Health locations.

Their team can help with: - Symptom assessment & management – such as pain, breathlessness, nausea, anxiety, and others; - Talking about the diagnosis, treatment options and future care planning; - Making plans for ongoing care outside of the hospital, such as accessing community services, equipment for home, carer training, and moving into residential care; - Care at the end of life; and - Other situations requiring inpatient specialist palliative care.
