Palliative Care Victoria alarmed at lack of funding to help terminally ill Victorians
Don't miss out on the headlines from Victoria. Followed categories will be added to My News. Dying Victorians are being forced on to waiting lists for palliative care or being pushed into overcrowded hospitals instead of receiving care at home because of funding shortfalls, experts warn. Kelly Rogerson, chair of Palliative Care Victoria, has sounded the alarm that the state's at-home care system is in crisis following years of underfunding by the Victorian government, with at least an extra $20m needed to restore service levels. She revealed that 79 people die each day in Victoria without access to palliative care, and that terminally ill patients are frequently told to seek treatment in hospitals rather than stay at home due to budget issues. 'It just doesn't make sense,' Ms Rogerson said. 'We've got this massive increase of our ageing population and terminal illness trajectories, but we're a small piece of focus from a Department of Health point of view. 'People are only getting care in the last weeks of their life rather than actually living well, which is what palliative care is all about.' Data from Palliative Care Victoria showed 62 per cent of people who wanted to die at home were actually being admitted to hospital instead. Ms Rogerson added this was resulting in huge 'pressure on hospitals' and called for an urgent funding injection from the Allan government to help struggling services. Her call comes after funding was cut in the 2024-25 budget. This was despite a report in 2022, commissioned by Palliative Care Victoria, which found 75 per cent of service providers don't believe they can meet future demand, with a projected $91m annual shortfall in the state's sector by 2025. In comparison, in NSW the sector was boosted in 2022 with an extra $734m to be injected into the end-of-life care system over five years. Despite warnings of underfunding, a Victorian government spokesperson said: 'Every Victorian deserves access to compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care when and where they need it.' 'We've invested more than $182m to expand access to palliative care across Victoria, including year on year increase.' Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier slammed the state's action on the issue as tone deaf. 'Labor needs to immediately correct the underfunding of essential palliative care services, so that support and dignity can be provided to those patients at the end of their life,' she said. In one case raised with the Herald Sun a mother-of-three dying of cancer was not able to get assistance for help to care for her young children due to funding issues.

Soccer-Coach Corica rails at officials as Auckland miss out on Grand Final
(Reuters) -Auckland FC coach Steve Corica criticised officials after missing out on a place in the A-League Grand Final as Saturday's 2-0 loss against Melbourne Victory denied the New Zealanders a season-ending clash against Melbourne City next week. Goals from Zinedine Machach and Bruno Fornaroli saw Victory overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit to allow Arthur Diles' side to set up an all-Melbourne final while Corica fumed over a disallowed effort from Logan Rogerson with 21 minutes remaining. "I don't want an apology, I want the right decision to be made," said Corica, who led A-League debutantes Auckland to the Premiership title. "My opinion is they got it wrong and that could have cost us getting back into the game, for one, and getting into a final. "You're talking about big decisions so you would hope they would get it right but I don't think so." Auckland were trailing 2-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate when Rogerson headed in from close range after Guillermo May had crossed from the byeline, momentarily believing he had pulled his side level overall. But officials ruled the ball had gone out of play before swinging back in prior to Rogerson making contact to leave the New Zealand international with his head in his hands and the 30,000 crowd booing the officials in anger. "The atmosphere was amazing here again, they've been sensational here all year, the supporters, and we appreciate that," said Corica. "I'm probably more disappointed for them. "I think they've been the best crowd all season, they've turned up every week in really good numbers and it's disappointing that they don't get to host a Grand Final next week because of poor refereeing decisions." Victory coach Diles claimed not to have seen the incident and was instead preparing himself for a meeting with crosstown rivals Melbourne City in the Grand Final. "It's a great moment for us as a football club, something we've worked really hard for and you get a reward tonight off the back of that," he said. "It was beautiful to play in front of 30,000 fans tonight. It was even nicer to spoil the party." (Reporting by Michael Church, Editing by Christian Schmollinger)
