Palliative Care NSW welcomes the recent announcement that the NSW Government plans to invest $3 million to improve health outcomes for patients, carers and families with end of life and palliative care needs in NSW.
Minister for Medical Research David Harris noted that “these priority research areas have been informed through extensive consultation with the NSW palliative care sector, including clinicians, policy managers, academics and advocacy groups.”
The funding will support the End of Life and Palliative Care Research Grant Program aims to translate research projects into practical benefits and support collaboration across NSW Health, research institutes, community organisations, and non-government organisations and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations.
Eligible agencies can receive up to $300,000 for smaller scale research projects and up to $600,000 for larger ones, focusing on areas like pharmacological and non-pharmacological management for patients, collaborative care models, inclusive care for diverse communities, and support for grief and bereavement.
