Invest, challenge, change! Unlocking the economic opportunities of increased palliative care, KPMG Australia
Session Description
Chris Schilling, Director, Economics, KPMG Australia
KPMG’s Investing to Save – Palliative Care report highlighted the strong return on investment that Australia’s world class palliative care sector delivers. But what else is needed to secure increased funding of palliative care? Where do information gaps challenge the sector and hold us back from more informed decision-making? What change is required to help us meet our vision for the future? This session will highlight the good news story of the initial Investing to Save analysis; present some challenges identified in our new report: Information gaps in Australia’s palliative care; and provide a Q+A forum for getting your views and input to help advocate for change.
Snow Foundation Thank you & Acknowledgement
This afternoon’s session is sponsored by the Snow Foundation, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge The Snow Foundation for its generous support of two major Palliative Care Australia studies, both of which will be featured in this afternoon’s session.

Snow Foundation Thank you & Acknowledgement
This afternoon’s session is sponsored by the Snow Foundation, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge The Snow Foundation for its generous support of two major Palliative Care Australia studies, both of which will be featured in this afternoon’s session.
The Snow Foundation was established in 1991 by Terry Snow and his brother George to support people experiencing hardships and challenges, and the Foundation has been particularly generous in supporting people living with life-limiting illness.
The Snow Foundation’s willingness to partner with PCA in 2020 in the ground breaking KPMG Report - Investing to Save – The economics of increased investment in palliative care in Australia, and its subsequent support for the follow-up KPMG report - Information gaps in Australia’s palliative care to be discussed today – is a recognition of the importance of such philanthropic investment. Their investment in this research to demonstrate the social and economic impact of quality palliative care in Australia is testament to their belief that such studies can have a significant impact and long lasting legacy.
