Transforming EPC to Meet the Needs of the Future
EPC is initiating a three-year Transformation Plan (2025–2028) guided by Value Based Health Care principles. The plan includes workforce redesign, cost and infrastructure efficiencies and long-term sustainability strategies. EPC remains financially well-managed and is not in crisis; this is a proactive, planned shift to ensure future care delivery.
Eastern Palliative Care is proud to join Palliative Care Australia in support of Australia’s first nations people. We share PCA’s commitment to the Uluru Statement of the Heart, reconciliation and closing the gap in health inequity. EPC supports the establishment of a Voice enshrined in the Constitution to give Indigenous communities a route to help inform policy and legal decisions that impact their lives.

EPC encourages open and transparent discussions about death, dying and living with a terminal illness. Our CEO, Gaylene Coulton, is available for comment. EPC Ambassadors are also available to present at corporate or community based events as part of our Community Speaker Program.
