The 2023-2024 Palliative Care Australia (PCA), Annual General Meeting (AGM) was a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the work of the PCA team, our members, and the community we are a part of.
“Palliative care is a team effort – a person-focused service that draws on the head, heart, and hands of a range of health professionals and volunteers to enable quality of life in the years, months, weeks, and days that remain for people with life limiting illness,” says Camilla Rowland, Chief Executive Officer, PCA.
“This collaborative and nimble approach to deliver care inspires our values and how we go about our work at PCA. As you read our Annual Report, what will be evident are the partnerships we forge and the collective impact we have across the health and care sectors.”
