PACCS are thrilled to be partnering with South Western Sydney PHN to host Advance Care Planning workshops across the Southern Highlands.

💬 Talking about future healthcare wishes can feel difficult, but planning ahead can make decisions easier for you and the people who care about you.

Free advance care planning workshops are coming up online and in Moss Vale and Bowral for adults, families and carers.

The workshops will explain advance care planning in simple terms, including how to start conversations with family and healthcare professionals and record your wishes in an Advance Care Directive or Values and Preferences Statement.

Upcoming workshops include:
💻 Thursday, 10 September, 7pm to 8pm – online workshop hosted by PACCS
📍 Wednesday, 28 October, 12pm to 1pm – The Argyle Community Room, Moss Vale
📍 Wednesday, 4 November, 10am to 11am – Loseby Park Hall, Bowral
📍 Wednesday, 25 November, time to be confirmed – The Argyle Community Room, Moss Vale

Palliative Care is CORE business in Aged Care.
We have to accept that supportive care in this context should underpin everything we do.

Palliative Care Australia (PCA) says questions about aged care assessments highlight a fundamental issue: whether people with serious and life-limiting illness are getting timely access to the care they need.

The ABC’s Four Corners investigation, 'The Waiting Game', has put a spotlight on the Integrated Assessment Tool used to assess older Australians seeking government-funded aged care.

PCA CEO Dr Chris Hatherly says any system determining access to aged care must be based on a comprehensive understanding of the needs of the individual.

Today, we celebrate the people at the heart of aged care.

The people who hold hands, share stories, offer reassurance and show up, day after day, with compassion and kindness.

To our team at PACCS, thank you for sharing your knowledge, compassion and experience so generously. The work you do has a lasting impact on the people you support, their families and the teams around you.

We’re proud to work alongside so many passionate people who share the same goal: enhancing quality of life through great care.

Happy Aged Care Employee Day. 🤍
