About Us

ELDAC is a national specialist palliative care and advance care planning advisory service.

ELDAC provides information, guidance, and resources to health professionals and aged care workers to support palliative care and advance care planning to improve the care of older Australians.

The ELDAC project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. It is managed by a consortium of three universities: Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Flinders University and University of Technology (UTS) and four senior sector organisations: Palliative Care Australia (PCA), Ageing Australia, Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) and Catholic Health Australia (CHA).

The project is co-led by Emeritus Professor Patsy Yates, Professor Jennifer Tieman and Professor Deborah Parker.
