End of Life Care. Objective The Parties recognise that activities under this priority area will link where relevant with the National Palliative Care Strategy, and the National Palliative Care Projects funded by the Commonwealth. This work will also be informed by, and align where relevant with, the work of AHMAC in the end of life space, being undertaken by the inter-jurisdictional end of life care working group which currently reports through the Community Care and Population Health Principal Committee. This work will enhance end of life care in Tasmania by building the capacity of the health and community sector to promote and participate in advance care planning. This priority is an action area of Compassionate Communities, Tasmania’s Palliative Care Policy Framework, 2017-21. It seeks to introduce a standardised approach to advance care planning including tools, information and education resources for service providers. The project will be undertaken by the DHHS and be oversighted by the Partners in Palliative Care Reference Group comprising palliative care stakeholders from around the state.

End of Life Care. In Wandsworth, the percentage of deaths at home (including nursing/care homes) has increased from 33.4% in 2008/9 to 37.2% in 2010/11. However, it is recognised that, at a national level, over 60% of those who expressed a preference, chose home as their preferred place of death. Co-ordinate my Care (CMC) was launched in Wandsworth in late November 2012. In other areas where CMC has already been piloted, its benefits have been recognised, specifically with 70% of patients with a CMC record having achieved a home death. This LES encourages both the use of CMC with the aim of increasing the number of deaths at home and a GP-led MDT review of patient care to support learning and improvements in End of Life Care (EOLC).
End of Life Care. Objectives The Parties recognise that work in this priority area will link, where relevant with the National Palliative Care Strategy, and National Palliative Care Projects funded by the Commonwealth. This work will also be informed by, and align with, the work of AHMAC in the end of life space, being undertaken by the inter-jurisdictional end of life care working group which reports through the Community Care and Population Health Principal Committee (or equivalent replacement bodies as directed by AHMAC if applicable). This priority area forms a key part of the development of a comprehensive strategy to improve end of life care to South Australians. It will focus on supporting end of life care within, and transitions between, primary health care, acute care, specialist palliative care services, residential and community aged care through strong collaborative relationships and reducing barriers.
