This week we proudly brought the Sundale Ltd Palliative Care Conference 2025 to our Sunshine Coast community. A full day at the Nambour RSL Club that strengthened our workforce, invited professionals from outside of Sundale, and we honoured those who choose the noble profession of aged care - where being of service changes lives every day.
Joined by the Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying (RePaDD), the Specialist Palliative Care (SPACE) team, Sunshine Coast Health, the Voluntary Assisted Dying Team and Gregson & Weight Funeral Directors, this conference brought together leading experts and practitioners for learning, collaboration and reflection on the future of palliative and end-of-life care.
The day included:
⭐️ Evidence-informed sessions on compassionate care, cultural diversity and family communication. How to normalise end of life.
⭐️ Deep dive into the strengthened Aged Care Standard 5: Clinical Care
⭐️ 7.5 CPD hours for attendees
⭐️ Professional networking and discussion on critical aged care reforms
This event was a genuine investment in the knowledge and resilience of our people and those from other organisations that we walk alongside - to understand the need to compassionately support individuals and families during their most difficult times.
Bringing this conference to the Sunshine Coast helps to build local capability, fosters sector-wide conversations and recognises the extraordinary commitment of those who work in aged care. Thank you to those who helped to make this possible, we appreciate you!
