Our team is here to support yours. MPaCCS is a mobile specialist palliative care team that works collaboratively with General Practitioners and other health professionals to ensure superior outcomes.

MPaCCS can assist the following facilities: MPaCCS operates in a mobile manner and services the north, east and south metropolitan regions. Referrals can be delivered via fax or email.
