Innovation

Research

At Ballarat Hospice Care, we are committed to improving the quality of life for our patients. Our focus is on providing innovative and flexible services tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Research plays a vital role in this mission, helping us to continually evolve and improve our care.

Why Research Matters

Our research is an integral part of ensuring that we provide the best possible care and support to our patients, families, and carers. It helps us:

  • Drive Innovation: Research enables us to remain a learning and innovative organisation, consistently adopting the best practices in palliative care.
  • Improve Practice: By examining new approaches, research informs and refines our specialist palliative care services.
  • Strengthen Partnerships: Research builds stronger relationships with our healthcare and community partners, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
  • Achieve Better Outcomes: Through research, we are able to identify ways to improve care, leading to better outcomes for our patients, families, and carers.
  • Influence Systems: Our research contributes to shaping positive, evidence-based specialist palliative care systems in the community.

Research in Action

At Ballarat Hospice Care, we are always looking for ways to improve our services, whether through exploring new care models, enhancing patient and carer support, or examining the broader needs of our community.
