Palliative Care

Palliative Care is specialised health care provided by staff trained in supporting people living with a terminal illness and their families.

The aim of palliative care is to achieve the best possible quality of life, for both the person who is dying and for their carers and family. Tallangatta Health Service has a holistic approach to the care of palliative care clients with staff dedicated to ensuring medical care, comfort, understanding and compassion is available to the client and family.

Palliative Care includes:
  • Affirms life and regards dying as a normal process.
  • Neither hastens nor postpones death.
  • Provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms.
  • Combines the physical, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual aspects of care in a coordinated approach.
  • Helps people have a good quality of life for as long as possible until their death.
  • Offers a support system to help the family cope during the person's illness, and in their own bereavement.
