PCSWA Bereavement Consultant Kristin Bindley has published an article in Palliative Medicine that focuses on carers of people with life-limiting illnesses who have to navigate social welfare systems.
“Caring at end-of-life while navigating welfare needs was seen to be associated with precariousness by participants, particularly for carers positioned in vulnerable social locations. Findings highlighted experiences of burdensome system navigation, inconsistent processes and inequity.”
