Palliative Care
Central Grampians Palliative Care Carer's resource videos
A guide for caring for people at the end of life -
Our Videos give practical and helpful advice for carers who are looking after someone who has life-shortening illness. Real life experiences are shared in chapter format. We talk sensitively about issues that are traditionally hard to discuss. We do not claim to have all the answers for carers, but we make clear where help is available.
It would not have been possible to make this resource without the help and co-operation of the following people and we thank them deeply for their contributions.
