Palliative care animation available in three new languages
The virtual palliative care animation video is now available in three languages other than English:
- Arabic: الرعاية الافتراضية تجعل الحصوعلى الرعاية التلطيفية أمراً سهلاً
- Mandarin: 虚拟护理使姑息治疗更轻松
- Kurdish: Çavdêrîya elektronî gehîştin bi çavdêrîya paliatîf hêsan dike.
The English version also has the option to display the subtitles in these languages, available on the NSW Health YouTube channel.
You can add the video to your myVirtualCare waiting room from YouTube. For help to do this please contact us, or speak to your local health district's myVirtualCare clinic coordinator or virtual care or telehealth manager.

Information for consumers available
We have published a new page on Virtual Care Central to help consumer representatives and peer support workers quickly find key resources and learn more about virtual care.
Consumer representatives and peer support providers work in partnership with clinicians, and often discuss care options and how to access healthcare with other consumers.
If you are one of these key advocates for virtual care, or work with them, the new page is available on Virtual Care Central. Access is automatic for NSW Health staff, and will be provided to external consumer representatives and peer support workers who contact us.
