Any patient that is diagnosed with an illness with lasting effects can benefit from Palliative Care. Palliative care is a medical field that helps patients deal with the ongoing symptoms and any consequences of their illness or injury. This can involve a combination of counselling, medications, physical therapy, occupational therapy, pain management, or other support services as needed.

Whatever the inciting illness or injury, Palliative Care Services can improve a patient’s quality of life by helping them manage any ongoing deficits.

Absolutely. We work collaboratively with Support Coordinators, palliative care teams, GPs, nurses, allied health professionals, and other healthcare providers to ensure everyone is working towards the participant’s wishes while delivering coordinated, person-centred care.

At Maple Community Services, we focus on whole person support. By learning about your individual goals and building a strong relationship with you, together, we’ll develop a Palliative Care strategy that prioritises the tools, supports, and access to services that will enable you to live your life to the fullest. We will assign you a like-minded Support Worker, someone who speaks your language, understands your goals, and is committed to your needs.

Palliative care is specialised care that focuses on improving the quality of life for people living with a life-limiting illness. It aims to manage symptoms, provide emotional and practical support, and help people live as comfortably and meaningfully as possible while supporting their families and carers.

Yes, the NDIS may continue to provide disability-related supports for eligible participants living with a terminal illness if they meet the scheme’s eligibility requirements. While healthcare services are generally funded through the health system, the NDIS can fund supports that assist with everyday living, independence, and disability-related needs.

The NDIS palliative care pathway helps participants receiving palliative care continue accessing disability-related supports while working alongside the broader healthcare system. It ensures NDIS-funded supports remain coordinated with health services as a person’s needs and circumstances change.

Yes. Many people choose to receive palliative care in the comfort of their own home. With the right combination of healthcare services, family support, and NDIS-funded assistance, people can remain in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised care that reflects their wishes and individual needs.

The NDIS aims to provide access to high quality, personalised, and innovative supports and services to enhance the independence, and social and economic participation of people with disabilities and their carers.
The NDIS funds several critical services for people who require Palliative Care. These include personal care support, community access support, nutritional support, skill development, transport, household tasks, and behavioural support. Plan Management and Support Coordination Funding are almost always offered to NDIS Participants when they receive their plan. The types and amounts of funding available are partly determined by the severity of a person’s illness.

Depending on a participant’s goals and eligibility, the NDIS may fund supports such as personal care, household assistance, community participation, Supported Independent Living (SIL), support coordination, and other disability-related services that help maintain comfort, dignity, and quality of life throughout the palliative care journey.
