Palliative Care
The Riverland Divisions of General Practice and the Murray Mallee General Practice Network Rural Palliative Care Project is facilitated nationwide by the Australian Divisions of General Practice 2008-2010.
The RDGP & MMGPN is coordinating the project with the support of key partners and the Palliative Care Service.
Over the next 2 years the Project will be developed and implemented in accordance with the Statewide Palliative Care Strategic Plan and the National Palliative Care Strategy.
The development of the Project will occur in consultation with service providers and members of the community who are sensitive to the needs of people living in our community with a life limiting illness.
The aim of the Rural Palliative Care Project is to improve access to quality, coordinated palliative care services for people in the Riverland and Murray Mallee regions of SA.
