Palliative care is available for people of any age, from babies to older adults, who have been diagnosed with a life‑limiting illness. It focuses on identifying and managing symptoms and issues related to the illness, whether they are physical, emotional, spiritual, or social.
For some people, palliative care can be helpful from the time of diagnosis. It may be provided alongside other treatments (such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation for cancer) or after those treatments have finished. Many people access palliative care at different stages throughout their illness.
Accessing palliative care early can help ensure that a person’s values, beliefs and goals for their care are understood and respected.
You are welcome to submit an application to volunteer for a potential intake of new volunteers in mid‑2026.
