Funded Activity Summary

Dying well: Designing rural end-of-life services for chronic disease. This project aims to understand how existing rural service structures impact access to end-of-life support in chronic conditions. Chronic diseases account for 90% of deaths in Australia, yet access to end-of-life support is limited and little is known about services in rural areas. Information gathered through patient and stakeholder interviews, national survey and service mapping will be used to generate a new evidence-based framework and guideline. These outputs will support early engagement with end-of-life planning, known to improve quality of life and reduce health system costs, and to inform development of equitable future end-of-life services for people and their families living with chronic conditions across rural Australia.
