Palliative Care NSW is the peak body and leading voice for our members and the community, promoting quality palliative care for everyone. It addresses the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of people, to allow them to live as well and as comfortably as possible. Palliative Care recognises the unique needs of a person who is approaching and reaching the end of their life, as well as the needs of their family and carers.

palliAGED Evidence Summaries are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and managed by CareSearch, Flinders University.
The evidence summaries are arranged by topics, and provide a concise synopsis of findings of systematic reviews dealing with the topic in a palliative care/aged care context.
Each Evidence Summary has a companion page with practical information found in the Practice Centre. Each Evidence Summary also has a companion Evidence Synthesis which is a more detailed discussion of the evidence. The Evidence Synthesis reports the gaps in the evidence base and may also include controversies in the literature.
