It is often said that a society can be measured by how it cares for its most vulnerable people. Informal care for people nearing the end of life, often provided by family and friends, is a vital area of care for the vulnerable, and is coming under significant pressure in Australia. Our capacity to care is being challenged by economic, social and cultural shifts. This project aims to examine systematically the character of informal care from multi-stakeholder perspectives, providing policy and practice-relevant evidence for better support and understanding of the role and significance of informal care for people approaching the end of life in Australian society.

人们常说，衡量一个社会的标准是看它对最弱势群体的关怀程度。对接近生命尽头的人的非正式照顾，通常由家人和朋友提供，是照顾弱势群体的一个重要领域，在澳大利亚正面临着巨大的压力。我们的护理能力正受到经济、社会和文化转变的挑战。本项目旨在从多方利益相关者的角度系统地考察非正式护理的特征，为更好地支持和理解非正式护理在澳大利亚社会中接近生命尽头的人的作用和意义提供政策和实践相关的证据。
