About us

Our mission is to develop a collaborative end-of-life culture to meet people’s health and social needs.

We understand that Australian communities and organisations have a valuable role to play in end-of-life care and support.

Through linking community expertise with health and palliative care expertise, we support communities to work together using a network-centred approach at generating local solutions to end-of-life concerns and to develop resilience around death, dying and bereavement.

HELP is an integrated approach to end-of-life care. We use a strengths-based social prescribing service model to unlock untapped assets – at national, state, regional and local level – that can improve end-of-life care outcomes for all Australians.

The Healthy End of Life Program (HELP) came from research at La Trobe University’s Public Health Palliative Care Unit (PHPCU).

Quotes from our research
Quote

The goals of a public health approach should be to create sustainable community environments with the capacity to engage in end-of-life discussion, support and practical care, whilst developing community norms that ensure citizens know about and can draw upon these assets when needed.
