Helping Western Australians plan for the end of life PALLIATIVE Care WA is helping regional Western Aus- tralians to plan for the end and discuss their care wish- es with their families Despite the consensus amongst Australians that talking about their end-of-life care is important, most haven’t actually had the conversation with their loved ones. According to a Palliative Care Australia survey, com- missioned for National Palliative Care Week which was held in May, 85 per cent of Australians believe that it is important to have a conversation with family about the care one would like to receive at end-of-life, but only a third of those surveyed have actually had that discussion. PCAWA executive offi cer Lana Glogowski said while Australians clearly agree on the importance of planning C for the end of life they need to take steps to inform their loved ones about what is important to them. “The survey found that more than a third of people who hadn’t talked to their family found the subject un- comfortable and a further 27 per cent were avoiding the discussion because they didn’t want to upset their loved ones,” she said. “Dying is a normal part of life and everyone deserves a positive end-of-life experience. It’s important we nor- malise conversations around death so that people can plan ahead and their families know what they would want if they could no longer talk for themselves. “We know from the Advance Care Planning work- shops we have been conducting around WA in recent years that many people are unaware of the choices that they can make at end-of-life,” Ms Glogowski said. Even when it comes to indirect communication, Australians are failing to take action, with 83 per cent of Australians believing that it’s important to put their end-of-life wishes in writing, and only 21 per cent ac- tually doing so. Palliative Care WA is running free Advance Care Planning Workshops in Busselton and Geraldton in June. These workshops are supported the WA De- partment of Health.

A friendly visitor makes all the diff erence

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is a free service, connec� ng caring and enthusias� c volunteers with people who live in their own home, don’t have regular contact with family or friends, and are receiving services through a Home Care Package. Through regular social visits the volunteer provides companionship and friendship, which may include sharing a chat and cuppa, reminiscing, reading or listening to music.

Anna and Jodie met through the Red Cross Community Visitors Scheme (CVS). Anna lives on her own and was looking for someone to visit regularly and have a chat.

Jodie is a CVS volunteer – she visits Anna once a fortnight and together they enjoy a chat and a cuppa, and their love of card making and reading.
