This review discusses palliative care and end-of-life models of care for Aboriginal people in New South Wales. Currently Aboriginal people tend to not access palliative care services in mainstream facilities and it is important that future palliative care models fit with Aboriginal peoples’ community values, beliefs, cultural/ spiritual rituals, heritage and place. This online article in the journal Rural and Remote Health is available free online to download.
