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. More information about the National Palliative Care Projects is available at https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/palliative-care/about-palliative-care/what-were-doing-about-palliative-care.

We acknowledge the generous contribution of time and expertise by the members of the Project Advisory Group. We would like to acknowledge the work of Changineers and the Pam McLean Centre, in particular Dr Renee Lim, and K-Films in helping to produce the videos that are included in the eLearning modules. In addition, we are very grateful for Changineers assistance with development of the Dementia Specific eLearning modules, and Sue Stoecker and Madelaine de Valle’s input into the development of the General Practice eLearning modules. We thank Kelly Arthurs, Dr Peter Roach, Jennifer Gavin and Jolan Stokes for their excellent work contributing to the development and delivery of face-to-face training and/or tele-mentoring support for general practice participants. We thank Professor Dimity Pond and Ms Helen Siegertsz for their significant contributions to the GP and practice manager eLearning modules, respectively.

We would like to acknowledge the work of our commercial partners, Tony O’Halloran from Constellation Strategy, Morton Blacketer, and Richard Knight of Freshmint Design for their assistance in developing the Advance Project website, promotional materials and/or flow charts. We thank Simon Malcolm from Simon Malcolm Productions for assistance with developing training and promotional videos for the General Practice training, and Simply eLearning for help with refreshing the General Practice eLearning courses
