Why Bringing in Experienced End of Life Doulas Benefits Community Services Providers

For community services organisations, supporting people at the end of life can be one of the most complex and emotionally challenging parts of care provision. Even with dedicated and compassionate teams, there are often gaps in knowledge, confidence or capacity when it comes to supporting someone through their final days.

This is where experienced end of life doulas can make a powerful difference.

End of life doulas provide practical, emotional and planning support to dying people and their families. They work with individuals, care workers and families to ensure choices are respected and that everyone feels supported throughout the process.

Are you a caregiver in Central NSW?

You’re not alone and support is here.

In collaboration with Carer Gateway, we’re delivering a series of free, in-person workshops designed especially for unpaid carers.

This free, supportive session explores what happens after your caring role ceases or someone dies, including planning and care options, grief, rebuilding life, and where to find support.

Not sure if you’re a carer?
A carer is anyone who supports a family member or friend with a disability, medical condition, mental illness, health condition, or who is frail due to age whether occasionally or every day.
