The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing leads national efforts to improve health outcomes and ensure accessible, high-quality care for all Australians. The department shapes policy and delivers programs across health, aged care, and disability services, including Medicare, aged care reforms, and the National Disability Strategy. Through evidence-based regulation, funding, and collaboration with providers and communities, it works to promote wellbeing, inclusion, and dignity—supporting Australians at every stage of life, including those requiring palliative and end-of-life care.

The Palliative Aged Care Outcomes Program (PACOP) is an evidence-based, best practice model which supports aged care homes (ACHs) to provide optimal palliative and end-of-life care for all residents, their families/carers. PACOP returns reports to drive systematic quality improvement in ACHs and across the residential aged care sector with a national benchmarking program. PACOP aims to directly contribute to the overall strengthening and resilience of our aged care system by providing training and support on the use of the PACOP assessment and response framework. PACOP is a national palliative aged care program fully funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability & Ageing with participation freely available to Australian residential aged care homes.
