We provide compassionate in-home aged care services, working alongside palliative care teams.
Tell us a few details and we’ll be in touch to confirm your eligibility and start your supports.
At Five Good Friends, we've been supporting Members through end-of-life care for years—long before this pathway existed. We understand that this is about more than just services. It's about ensuring your loved one can stay in the place they love, surrounded by familiar faces, with dignity and comfort prioritised at every step.
Our approach is whole-person and coordinated. From the moment you contact us, a dedicated Care Team takes over—mobilising Helpers, nurses, and support services quickly. We work directly with your loved one's GP and palliative care team so you don't have to manage the coordination yourself. Whether it's personal care, companionship, medication support, or respite for family, we bring everything together to meet your loved one's wishes and keep them comfortable at home.
Personal care and companionship to keep your loved one comfortable and connected
Nursing support for medication management, comfort measures, and clinical coordination
Respite support to give family carers the breaks they need during this challenging time
The End-of-Life Pathway provides funding for up to 12 weeks, with flexibility to extend to 16 weeks if needed. Your Care Team will work with you to prioritise what matters most.
We've coordinated with GPs, palliative care teams, and families to ensure people can remain at home during their final days, surrounded by the people and places they love. This experience shapes everything we do. When families contact us, they're met with a team that understands the urgency, the emotions, and the practical realities of this journey. We know how to mobilise quickly, coordinate seamlessly, and prioritise what matters most: comfort, connection, and honouring your loved one's wishes.
