New Factsheets Series Released: Managing Expectations in Palliative Care Volunteering

Clear expectations are essential for effective collaboration in palliative care. To support patients, families, health professionals, and volunteer organisations, we are excited to announce the release of three new factsheets under the Palliative Care Volunteering SA Project:

    • Managing Palliative Care Volunteering Expectations: Patients and Families: Helps patients and families understand what volunteers can and cannot do, the boundaries they work within, and how they complement professional care. Download HERE

    • Managing Palliative Care Volunteering Expectations: Health Professionals: Provides guidance for health care professionals on involving volunteers in care, ensuring compassionate and holistic support for patients and families. Download HERE

    • Managing Palliative Care Volunteering Expectations: Organisations: Supports volunteer organisations in fostering a positive environment and setting clear expectations for volunteers and stakeholders. Download HERE

These resources aim to strengthen partnerships, reduce misunderstandings, and ensure everyone involved in palliative care volunteering feels supported and informed.
