COMMUNITY members are being invited to attend a special event in Wauchope on 12 May, to learn more about palliative care.
Anthony Bui, Community Engagement Coordinator at Palliative Care NSW, will facilitate the event with the support of the local palliative care team.
Participants will learn about advance care planning and how to find the local services available to support them through ageing, loss, dying, and grief.
The session is part of Palliative Care Week, which runs from 11–17 May.
Led by Palliative Care NSW in partnership with Healthy North Coast Primary Health Network and Mid North Coast Local Health District, it offers a safe and friendly space to explore important topics such as:
– Navigating end-of-life matters
– Understanding what palliative care is and how to access it
– Local support available
– Steps involved in advance care planning
The “Community Conversation” will be held from 1:30pm to 3:00pm at the Wauchope CWA Hall, which is behind the clock tower at 49 High Street, Wauchope.
Everyone over the age of 18 is welcome to attend, whether caring for someone with a serious illness, supporting ageing parents, or simply wanting to be better informed.
Attendees will receive a free resource kit to take home.
