About the facility

Barwon Health Palliative Care provides palliative care nursing, medical, allied health and volunteer services within a framework of integrated health service involving close collaboration between community, inpatient as well as an acute consultative service. The model of palliative care is based on level of need and targets patients with complex care needs. The Community Palliative Care team is based at the McKellar Centre.

About the role

In this role you will provide clinical palliative care nursing to people who have complex care needs as a result of experiencing a life limiting illness, with little or no prospect of cure, and for whom the primary treatment goal is quality of life. This care will be provided within an interdisciplinary team context, and in community settings. Clinical leadership, education and support will be provided to palliative care colleagues, and generalist staff who work with a palliative approach.

About the culture

We are a specialist interdisciplinary palliative care service, which is committed to providing an equitable, seamless, person centred approach, strengthened by education, research and development to support our community.
