David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (20:42): (2839) My adjournment is for the attention of the Minister for Health. There are many issues that are brought up in this place, from lighting in car parks to tax policy and the way our justice system works. Sometimes the issues we tackle are literally life and death. The debate that we had related to the voluntary assisted dying laws was conducted with the seriousness and compassion that it deserved. Supporting people well through their end-of-life journey is very important, and most people do so with the support of palliative care workers. There is, however, a lot of unmet need. I recently met with Palliative Care South East and heard about their work and their proposal for a community hospice centre in the south-east. Within a decade this region is expected to need 57 designated palliative care beds. It currently has access to 21, all of which are hospital based. The model proposed by Palliative Care South East is based on Anam Cara House in Geelong and other services around the world. State government investment would be balanced with Commonwealth investment and private fundraising. This is a modest investment which will likely save money, as doing this well is to do it efficiently and will save money across other areas of the health system. People deserve to die well wherever that is possible, surrounded by loved ones and in a peaceful environment. My request for the minister is a modest one: simply meet with Palliative Care South East to hear about their proposal for a much-needed community hospice service.
