Abstrakt: Meeting the end-of-life care needs of particular groups in Australia remains challenging, especially those people who are culturally and/or religiously diverse. One such group is those adherents to Islam, whose communities come from many parts of the world. to develop connections with the Islamic community, to understand their end-of-life care needs. over 12 months palliative care staff and members of the Islamic community met to prepare for and deliver a seminar to assist understandings between the Islamic community and palliative care services. A seminar, attended by 79 participants, addressed issues like palliative care and Islam; how palliative care works; advance care planning; care coordination; and bereavement. Many commonalities emerged, to provide a foundation for further activities; and the process demonstrated the importance of working together, and highlighted opportunities for shared collaborative work.
