In Australia, approximately 1,134 people under the age of 24 die each year. A significant proportion of these children and adolescents can benefit from palliative care.

PCOC is a national outcomes and benchmarking program with the aim of improving palliative care outcomes in patients, their carers and family. The program has resulted in clinical and statistically significant improvements in palliative care outcomes over the last decade.
More than 250 service sites in Australia use PCOC’s suite of clinical assessment tools. This includes a number of services that provide palliative care to children and adolescents. We welcome partnerships with palliative care paediatric providers in order to help benefit children, adolescents, their carer and families.
PCOC is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health. Participation in PCOC is free. Participation in PCOC is voluntary. Contact us to partipcate in PCOC.
