Dylan in the News

Paliative Care Australia launch of Journeys

Palliative Care Australia held a morning tea at Parliament House, Canberra, on Thursday 18 August 2011 for the launch of Journeys – palliative care for children and teenagers. The publication is a resource designed to prepare and equip families caring for a child with a life limiting illness. As a part of the launch we were asked to deliver a presentation at the launch on our family's journey and how the publication Journeys and Palliative Care supports us.
