To coordinate the right support. At the right time.
Help for yourself – or someone you care about – at end of life.
It’s hard to watch a family you care about deal with the overwhelming challenge of palliative care or end-of-life. You want to help, but don’t always know what they need or when they need it.
If that is you, our HELP App can help you ‘take the lead’ and feel confident in coordinating the practical and emotional support that a family needs as they come to terms with a loved one reaching palliative care or end-of-life.

Stories from HELP research
Now, when I think of how much time I spent vacuuming and cleaning so the house was clean for the palliative care nurses, I regret it. I could have spent more time with Mick. I don’t want other people to do what I did
