Episode Details

Fitzroy Community Hospice in Queensland offers free haircuts and companionship to terminally ill patients, filling a gap in end-of-life care. Led by hairdresser Kelly Wingard, the hospice aims to make patients feel human in their final days. Despite only one in three Australians planning their end-of-life wishes, experts stress the importance of speaking up for personal values. Palliative Care Queensland urges the government to extend the current strategy, as around seventy people die daily in Queensland from expected deaths that better planning could ease. Queensland Health assures care levels wont drop, while volunteers like Kelly continue to provide essential support.
