All Members: Local Palliative Care Grants Program
Community groups, health and aged care providers and charitable organisations are invited to apply for grants totalling $5.6 million under the Local Palliative Care Grants Program.

- Fitting out premises to increase access to services for palliative patients and their carers/families.
- Purchasing equipment for the increased provision of high quality palliative care services in either an in- patient setting or as part of a community service.
- Replacement of the Graseby syringe drivers with TGA approved syringe drivers.
- Modifying existing premises to provide transition care facilities for palliative patients following hospital discharge and prior to returning home
