John: Am I right, people can suddenly find themselves looking after someone who is terminal ill and they’ve really got not much of an idea of how to go about it? Peter: Good evening John, and thank you very much for this opportunity. Professor Peter Hudson from the university of Melbourne, he's a project leader for carer help, he joins us on the line now. That's what this new CarerHelp is and it goes to that question of palliative care is something we… you shy away from it you don't talk about it and my instinct is whenever you feel that way you think Ok well, I do want to talk about it.

Where you go and where you find information. It could be in some cases parent looking after children or grandchildren and you are a carer and we don't do enough for carers but what about someone who's suddenly plunge in a situation of being a carer for someone who's terminally ill it could be a partner, could be a friend could be a member of your family.

I know there's an organization called CarerHelp which is an advertiser on the station here and I’ve heard them talk about this and it's about carers.Īnd I know a lot of you talk about carers in different contexts so for insistence it might be you're looking after your parents. John: Now something just a bit different tonight
