JAPAN
Banksia Palliative Care Service has developed international partnerships with overseas organisations. Since 2000, Banksia has developed strong links with visiting Japanese Health Professionals, who visit Banksia for palliative care workshops and clinical observation visits. As a result of receiving independent funding separate to their core budget, Banksia Staff have attended Japan on four occasions and delivered education and training to palliative care organisations. In 2006, Banksia established a unique formal sister relationship with a palliative care organisation in Tokyo called "Pallium". Banksia is very proud of the relationships made with Japan. As ambassadors for Australia, there is a strong mutual respect of each others expertise and cultural requirements, in how each country delivers community palliative care services.
