Expected outcomes

The Quality of Care Collaborative Australia 2 (QuoCCA 2) continues the project work commenced in 2015-2017 to enhance the quality of paediatric palliative care delivery and providing support for children and young people with life limiting conditions, their families and their care communities.

The project seeks to bring about improvements in skills, knowledge and confidence of health professionals involved in delivery of paediatric palliative care across Australia, through delivery of education and research.

Improvements in timely and appropriate access to, and quality of, paediatric palliative care in acute and community settings across Australia will be achieved.
