End-of-Life Pathway to be extended from 8 March 2027

Published: 22 October 2026

The End-of-Life Pathway is being extended to provide more support for eligible care recipients.

Eligible care recipients can currently access the End-of-Life Pathway for 12 weeks, with support available for up to 16 weeks where funding remains.

From 8 March 2027, those who remain at home after the initial 12 weeks will automatically get:

  • a further 12 weeks of support
  • additional funding of about $25,000.

This extends the pathway to 24 weeks.

Providers can continue to claim services under existing arrangements.
