During this unprecedented and difficult time, we’re doing all we can to support everyone’s health, while we focus on delivering services to our clients and their carers.

As we’re all acutely aware, we are currently living in extremely difficult times, with government, businesses and our community, all responding to the unique and diverse challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic. The restrictions we are under, and the precautions we must all take are having a significant impact on the ability of many services, both within Australia and around the world. We want to assure you that the current, and increasing disruptions to services do not apply to essential services, and Banksia Palliative Care is an essential service.

Our goal is to continue to provide holistic, relationship-centred care to all of the people living with a palliative condition within our region, as well as provide a safe work environment for our team. We are working to minimise service disruption during the pandemic, however we recognise that we will need to be agile with advice around the virus constantly evolving, and therefore, would appreciate patience and understanding as we adapt to the changing environment and Government regulations.

Working within any constraints that arise as a result of the pandemic, we will continue to provide all existing expertise and services to our clients and their carers – our clients will have access to Palliative Care Consultant Physicians, Nurses, Social Work, Music Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Massage Therapy, full Bereavement services and respite care. We will maintain all of our 24 hours support services, and will prioritise working closely with our colleagues in health services and our primary service providers, the GPs.
