About Palliative Care Tasmania

Palliative Care Tasmania Limited (PCT) is Tasmania’s peak body for palliative care.  We advocate that all Tasmanians with a life-limiting illness, together with those they value, are supported to live, die, and grieve well. 

PCT is a state-wide Member organisation (since 1989) and provides support through community education, awareness, advocacy, information and sector development, and workforce development both paid and unpaid (carers and volunteers). 

We are the leading provider of palliative care and advance care planning education in Tasmania, with our education reaching thousands of Tasmanians (community members and service providers) each year.  Education streams include:

PalliCare Fundamentals 
PalliAged Care   
Community Connections 
Palliative Care Speaker Series 
PalliTalk 
PalliCare GP Connect
Strengthening Communities of Care

PCT is affiliated with Palliative Care Australia as one of eight-member organisations and contributes to the national agenda for palliative care. 

Our mission is to educate, lead and influence policy and practice, advocate, and support people of all ages to access quality palliative care.
