The Victorian Government launched Victoria’s Palliative and End-of-life Care Framework 2026–36 on 15 May 2026.
The Framework was developed under the guidance of Associate Professor Mark Boughey, as the Chief Palliative Care Adviser.
The Framework’s vision and goals represent the Victorian community’s aspiration and the outcomes they want to see from the palliative care system. These have been developed in consultation with consumers and the sector and informed by expert input, best practice evidence and people’s lived experience of the service system.
Shaped by the voices of the community and sector, the new 2026–36 Framework provides a blueprint for Victoria’s palliative care system for the next 10 years.
