Prepare for National Palliative Care Week with the Supporter Kit

[from PCA]

National Palliative Care Week 2026 (NPCW) will take place from 10-16 May, and this year’s theme is Getting to the heart of it: Big Questions. Real Answers.

We’re pleased to share the National Palliative Care Week 2026 Supporter toolkit, available to download here, to help you spread the word across your organisation, networks and community.

Inside the toolkit, you’ll find:

key messages
social media tiles and suggested copy
campaign branding and other digital assets
facts and information to support conversations about palliative and end-of-life care.

You can find more resources on the Palliative Care Australia website, including campaign materials, posters, logos, social media assets, event information, orange heart merchandise, and advice, tools and support.

As part of this year’s campaign, we’ll also be inviting you to join our livestream of the 2026 National Palliative Care Week Lecture, Rethinking Dementia and end of life care, at 12:30pm (AEST) on Thursday 14 May. The lecture will be delivered at Parliament House by a leader in palliative care, Dr Michael Chapman. Please find more information and registration link here.

However you choose to mark NPCW 2026, your support helps raise awareness and encourage better understanding of palliative and end-of-life care.
