Healthy End of Life Project
Project: Increase the local community’s capacity and capability around death, dying and bereavement.
Funding: This project was originally funded by COORDINARE - South Eastern NSW PHN through the Australian Government's PHN Program. Project actions are now being funded by Eurobodalla Council.
Timeframe: May 2022 to December 2023
Last updated: June 2023
Project details
We are working to:
- compile a directory that includes end-of-life services available to people in Eurobodalla.
Benefits to the community:
- People who require end-of-life support will be able to find services in one location.
The experience of end of life has a big impact on all of us in many ways throughout our lives. Getting and offering support to others during that important phase is worth thinking about now.
Eurobodalla was one of the first councils to partner with La Trobe University and Palliative Care NSW’S CAPACITY-HELP (Healthy End of Life Project). HELP aims to keep people who are ageing or living with a life-limiting illness connected with family, friends and community.
Project updates
Council will create a community directory that includes end-of-life services.
Initially available as a downloadable PDF, the directory will help people find local services to support them at their end of life.
