The Advance Project® was funded between 2016 and 2024 by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care as a National Palliative Care Project. The National Palliative Care Projects seek to improve the provision of high quality palliative care in Australia by supporting projects focusing on education, training, quality improvement and advance care planning.
