Palliative care in Australia
CALD education, awareness, advance care planning and access to services.
Paalam - The Bridge to Humanity (PBH) is built by volunteer health professionals and like-minded individuals, carrying compassionate palliative care, awareness and dignity to the people the system reaches last.
A world where everyone living with a life-limiting illness has access to compassionate, culturally sensitive palliative care - regardless of geography, culture, background or belief.
Everything PBH does sits within one of these four areas - chosen because they are where the gaps are widest, and where a small, skilled volunteer team can achieve measurable change.
CALD education, awareness, advance care planning and access to services.
Sri Lanka, regional India and other developing countries - infrastructure, training and service development.
Building awareness and encouraging CALD communities to register as potential stem cell donors.
Extending our work to First Nations communities in genuine partnership, and building health literacy among young people.
A Place of Care, Comfort and Dignity
The much-awaited End-of-Life Care Unit at Base Hospital Tellipalai, Jaffna
More than a ward, ARAVANAI is a promise of dignity, comfort and care - and the beginning of a wider movement to transform palliative care services across the region.
ARAVANAI means "embrace" in Tamil - an embrace of care for patients and their families at one of life's most difficult moments.
Whether you give once or monthly, your support is a vital lifeline to patients and families across Australia, Sri Lanka and India.
