Who it is for
Older people living with a life-limiting illness who wish to receive care at home, and their families and carers.
Nurse-led home care, Brisbane North
Palliative care at home
Many older people with a life-limiting illness want to stay at home, surrounded by the people, things and routines that matter to them. Palliative care at home focuses on comfort, dignity and quality of life, and on supporting the family as well as the person receiving care.
Our nurse-led team works alongside your GP and specialist palliative care team so care at home is coordinated, consistent and respectful of your wishes.

- Assistance with prescribed medications
- Personal care, gently delivered
- Emotional support for you and your family

Respecting your wishes
Palliative care is guided by what the person wants. We talk openly with you and your family about your preferences for care, including where you would like to be cared for, and we follow any advance care plan you have in place. If you have not made an advance care plan, we can point you to resources and encourage a conversation with your GP.
Support for families
Caring for someone at the end of life is emotionally and physically demanding. We keep families informed, explain what to expect and help with practical tasks so you can spend more time together. We can also connect you with counselling and bereavement support.
Support at Home
Funding palliative care at home
The End-of-Life Pathway under Support at Home gives eligible older people who have been told they have about three months or less to live extra funding for in-home care, generally available for 12 weeks. A GP or specialist assessment is part of accessing it. Your existing Support at Home budget, private funding and state palliative care services may also help. Read Support at Home and costs or call us to talk it through.
