1 Community Palliative Care Service for Western Sydney Information for referrers

2 Who we are Silver Chain Group is a not-for-profit organisation delivering community health and care services across Australia. We have a proud history of serving Australians for over 110 years in Western Australia and more than 120 years as RDNS in South Australia. We currently deliver our services in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. We are the largest provider of non-government community-based palliative care services in Australia with over 30 years of specialised palliative experience. There is consistently strong evidence for the positive outcomes of our service, inclusive of the increased occurrence of patients dying in the place of their choice, reduced length of stay in hospitals, and improved palliative support services in the community. Whilst clinical governance lies with Silver Chain, our team of registered nurses and doctors work closely with medical specialists, general practitioners, health professionals and local palliative care services to ensure the highest quality of care and service. 2 3

3 Silver Chain Community Palliative Care in Western Sydney In New South Wales, we already support the Last Days of Life service provided by eight Local Health Districts. From July 2017, the community of Western Sydney will have access to our comprehensive in-home palliative care service. This service is based on our widely successful Perth model, which is recognised nationally as a best practice model of communitybased palliative care. Our new service will enhance the existing palliative care services within Western Sydney by increasing community based services for patients and their families who choose to be supported at home. Our service will be free of charge to all people with a Medicare card. Pharmaceutical costs may be incurred in addition to this service. 4 5
