    Palliative care is appropriate even in the early stages of an illness when someone is having active treatment. It is about supporting people to live well while they manage their illness. Treatment aimed at curing illness can often be continued. The focus of care is maintaining quality of life and meeting the needs of the person, their family and carers.

    For more information, Palliative Care Australia produces a number of information brochures for consumers available from our website, including .pdf]Asking Questions Can Help.
