Attendees had the chance to:
🔸Hear informative presentations on local palliative care services
🔸Connect with local service providers
🔸Visit stalls offering resources, guidance, and helpful information

Palliative Care NSW and a number of local organisations were invited to present and connect the community with services, information, and education.
Together, we aim to build greater understanding of palliative care and highlight its vital role in supporting patients, carers, and their loved ones.

Every day of our lives we make decisions based on what matters to us, why should our death be any different?

So what matters to you most? Do you want every intervention possible? Comfort care? Home support? Hospital or hospice care? Who do you trust to help make decisions for you if needed?

Start the conversation with your loved ones today and ask them "What's your plan?"
