Non-English Language Palliative Care Resources
There are many languages spoken in NSW. Accessing resources in other languages can help patients, carers and loved ones to better understand Palliative Care and its role.
The resources listed below offer culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities with Palliative Care information in a variety of languages.
Palliative Care NSW would like to acknowledge the work done by the following organisations in creating palliative care resources for CALD communities within Australia: Palliative Care Australia, Palliative Care Victoria, Carers NSW, NSW Aged Care Roundtable and Advance Care Planning Australia.
