Palliative care and other options
Planning for palliative care
Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life and relieve symptoms and stress when facing a terminal condition at any age.
It can be provided at home, in hospital, a hospice or at an aged care facility. Find out about accessing aged care services.

Other support options
You may be eligible for support if you, your child or a loved one live with disability or you’re over 65 years. You don’t need to be diagnosed with a terminal illness to access these supports.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and My Aged Care can help you with:
- cooking
- cleaning
- other help at home.
