The Rural Palliative Care Project
The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing (the Department) has engaged the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) to manage the Rural Palliative Care (RPC) Project 2008-2010. The RPC Project is one of a number of initiatives designed to achieve the goals of the National Palliative Care Strategy.
The 2008-2010 Rural Palliative Care Project aims to further develop and implement collaborative models that, over the two year period, significantly improved the rural communities' access to quality, coordinated palliative care.
The announcement of the 2008-2010 Rural Palliative Care Project aims to deliver enhanced access to palliative care services across a broader expanse of rural Australia.
