What Is Palliative Care at Home?
Palliative care focuses on comfort and quality of life for someone living with a serious or life-limiting illness.
It isn't only for the very end. It can begin early and run alongside other treatments, easing pain, symptoms and stress at any stage.
End of Life Care at Home lets your loved one remain in a familiar, peaceful environment rather than a hospital. Ambition Health Group provides comprehensive palliative care services at home, including nursing and palliative care expertise, personal care, comfort, and family support, working together with your GP, specialists, and palliative care team so every need is covered.

Palliative Care Aged Care FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Palliative Care
Can palliative care be provided at home?
Yes. Many families choose home-based palliative care so their loved one can stay in familiar, peaceful surroundings. Our team visits to support symptom relief, comfort, personal care and emotional needs, working alongside your GP and palliative care team, and families can stay closely involved.
How long can someone receive palliative care?
It varies with the person’s condition and needs. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness and continue for as long as needed, sometimes months or longer. The focus throughout is comfort, dignity and quality of life.
When should palliative care be considered?
It can be introduced as soon as someone is living with a serious, chronic or life-limiting illness, even alongside other treatments. The earlier it begins, the more it can help with symptoms, comfort and emotional support. It’s never too early to ask.
What if our loved one's condition improves?
Palliative care is flexible. If your loved one stabilises or improves, the care plan is adjusted accordingly and can be reduced or paused. Palliative care isn’t only for the very end; it improves quality of life at any stage.
How is palliative care at home funded?
For older Australians, it’s supported through Support at Home, including a dedicated End-of-Life Pathway, and continuing Home Care Packages, across classifications 1–8. Younger participants may access supports through the NDIS. Private care is also available. We’ll help you understand your options.
Can you help us bring our loved one home from the hospital?
Yes, palliative care can be provided in the comfort of your home. Many families choose home-based palliative care because it allows their loved one to remain in a familiar, peaceful environment while receiving expert care. A team of doctors, nurses, and support staff can visit regularly to manage symptoms, provide pain relief, and offer emotional support. This option also allows families to be closely involved in the care process, making it a more personal experience.
Do you support the family as well?
Always. We provide emotional support and guidance for families before and during the journey, and bereavement support afterwards, including connecting you to specialist grief counselling and support groups.
