IPEPA

RESOURCES

IPEPA has a range of learning resources to support the development of palliative care capabilities for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce, and to enhance the capacity of the non-Indigenous workforce to provide culturally-responsive palliative care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

IPEPA learning resources have been developed through co-design and community engagement to provide education that meets the specific learning needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Professionals in the context of palliative care.

Local IPEPA Resources

State and Territory teams work with their local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities to yarn about palliative care. From these yarns, our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander IPEPA Project Officers and Consultants learn about community needs and work together to co-design and create palliative care material to meet the local needs of the community. For further local materials, contact your PEPA/IPEPA team.
