PalliLEARN Tasmania: Your role in a compassionate community

"A compassionate city is a community that recognises that care for one another at times of crisis and loss is not simply a task solely for health and social services but is everyone's responsibility" - Professor Allan Kellehear

As a Tasmanian community, what can we do to support those living, dying and grieving?

Join our community education course to learn about palliative care in simple, community-friendly language. This public education-focused, introductory-level course helps you build the skills and awareness to support those living with a life-limiting illness, those who are dying, or those who are grieving. A strong network of support can make all the difference for those navigating these difficult times.
