ABOUT US
Palliative care that focuses
on living, not just dying
Most palliative services spend more time on assessments than actual support. More focus on medical management than what you're trying to do with the time you have left.
We started PRN Allied Health Care to do it differently.
We believe end of life should be about possibility, dignity, and joy—not just symptom management and paperwork.
How We Work Differently
We talk openly about dying
Not in a morbid way, but honestly. If you want to die at home, let's talk about what that actually involves. If you've got a goal that seems impossible, let's work out if we can make it happen.
We move fast
Private funding, services via End of Life Funding and NDIS provided. You need support now, not next year.
We see the whole person
Who you are, what makes you laugh, what you're determined to do, what keeps you awake at night. Your care plan should reflect that, not just your diagnosis.
Home Visit Assessments We spend time—properly—understanding your situation. What's getting harder, what you want to keep doing, what you're worried about. Then we give you written recommendations that are actually useful.
Complex Problem Solving Equipment assessment and coordination, symptom management support, liaison with other services. We handle the logistics and bureaucracy so you don't have to.
Honest Planning We talk about what's ahead—functionally, practically, realistically. But we don't take away hope or assume you can't still do meaningful things.
Goal Facilitation Last hoorahs, family gatherings, one more trip, whatever matters to you. We work out the risk management, equipment, timing, and make it possible.
Dying at Home Support If that's what you want, we help you plan for it properly. Equipment, positioning, comfort management, what your family needs to know.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
OUR VALUES
MEET RACHAEL
I'm an Occupational Therapist who wanted to do things differently in palliative care.
Too many assessments, not enough action. Too clinical, not enough human. People waiting for support while their condition progresses. Families navigating equipment funding nightmares while trying to process terminal diagnoses. Goals dismissed as "unrealistic" without anyone even trying to problem-solve.
I knew there had to be a better way.
I've spent years working in palliative care. I've learned that the best support happens when you combine clinical expertise with honest conversation about what actually matters.
I started PRN Allied Health Care to provide the kind of palliative OT I'd want for my own family—skilled, responsive, focused on living well until the end.
HOW I WORK
I visit you at home. I listen—properly listen—to what you're managing, what's getting harder, what you're hoping to do.
Then we figure out solutions together.
I don't believe in assessments that sit on shelves. I believe in care plans that reflect your actual priorities, equipment that genuinely helps, and honest conversations about what's realistic and what's possible.
My focus is on good palliative care for everyone. Personal, responsive support that understands what happens when someone is dying and prioritises helping you achieve your goals given all of that.
I have particular skills and experience in progressive neurological conditions and oncology, but what really matters is my expertise in understanding death and dying, and supporting people to live fully until the end.
THE PRN Commitment to You
-
I'll be honest. If something's not possible, I'll tell you. If it might be possible but complicated, we'll work through it together.
-
I'll be responsive. We'll talk about your situation and what you need. I respond promptly to referrals and enquiries, and we'll work out together what timing makes sense for you.
-
I'll see you as a person. Not your diagnosis. Not a number. You, with your particular quirks, priorities, relationships, and goals.
-
I'll give you practical support. Not just advice, but actual problem-solving that makes your daily life better and helps you do the things that matter.
READY TO TALK
Let's have a conversation about what you're hoping for and how we might help.
