Overview

Commencing in November 2007, the Palliative care for renal clients living in remote settings project is due to end in July 2010. This project was funded by the Australian Department of Health and Ageing, and examines palliative services for renal clients and their carers where a client requires palliative care and lives at home in a remote community in the Northern Territory. The aim of the program is to help the client group to make end-of-life decisions and to raise awareness about a palliative approach to renal staff.
