What questions have you always wanted to ask?
Most of us know these conversations matter. Many of us just don't know where to begin.

Tomorrow's Conversations Today is a special morning tea hosted by Palliative Care ACT for the community to meet experts in our area.

This isn't a series of formal presentations. Instead, you'll enjoy morning tea while our guest speakers rotate between tables throughout the event. Every conversation is an opportunity to ask questions, hear different perspectives and connect with local organisations that support people living with a life-limiting illness, their families and carers.

You'll have the opportunity to chat with experts in:

Palliative care services in the ACT
Advance Care Planning
Non-clinical respite
Renal/kidney care
Estate planning and trusts
Funeral services
Whether you've been wondering what palliative care really is, how to document your wishes, what support is available for carers, or simply want to understand what's available in our community, this event offers a welcoming space where no question is too big or too small.

You don't need to have all the answers. You don't even need to know what to ask.

Just bring your curiosity, we'll provide the tea, the conversations and the local experts.

Today, people around the world are marking World Hospice and Palliative Care Day.

It’s a global day of action that brings together people, families, carers, health professionals, advocates and organisations across more than 120 countries to raise awareness of the importance of palliative care.

This year’s theme is Pain Management: An Essential Part of Palliative Care.

The need for palliative care is global. More than 73 million people around the world need palliative care each year, yet only around 14% are able to access it. Around three-quarters of that need is in low- and middle-income countries.

Palliative care takes a holistic approach to pain and suffering. That means recognising that pain can be physical, psychological, social and spiritual, and that good care considers the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Behind these global figures are people of all ages, their families and communities.

Today, Palliative Care ACT joins the international palliative care community in recognising the importance of compassionate, person-centred care and equitable access to pain management, wherever someone lives.

From Canberra to communities across the world, everyone deserves care that supports comfort, dignity and quality of life.

You don't need all the answers.

Most of us don't spend much time thinking about palliative care, aged care or planning ahead, until someone we love needs support.

Understanding what's available before you need it can make a difficult time feel just a little less overwhelming.

At Tomorrow's Conversations Today, you'll have the opportunity to chat with local experts, ask your questions and explore the support available in our community.
