Victoria's Palliative Care Program

Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA)

What is PEPA?

PEPA aims to improve the quality and accessibility of palliative care services to people with life limiting conditions and their families.

PEPA provides a broad range of health care professionals the opportunity to increase their experience, knowledge and skills in the delivery of the palliative approach.

In Victoria this is achieved through supervised clinical placements, workshops and post placement support.

Supervised clinical placements

No supervised clinical placements currently available.

PEPA Palliative Approach Workshops

Workshops give participants an overview of the palliative approach and how it can be incorporated into their own roles. Workshops are designed for allied health professionals and nurses (with limited/no palliative care experience).

For more information contact Ellen Sheridan, PEPA manager on ellen.sheridan@dhs.vic.gov.au or ph: 9096 5296.
