Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the challenges associated with life-limiting illness, for both malignant and non-malignant disease.
Physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs are all considered in a comprehensive Supportive and Palliative Care Service plan
Palliative Care Inpatient Unit
A 32-bed unit at Wantirna Health provides care for people with life-threatening illness. Patients are admitted for a variety of reasons including symptom control, end of life care or respite.
Hospital Based Palliative Care Consultation Team
