hi there,
there are cert's in palliative care, but I would recommend doing a cert 3 in age care as well. When you do start another cert, remember that some of your units might cross over meaning you won’t have to study as much.
Hope this helps.

Palliative Care is very involved and it is great you feel a passion to 'qualify' in this area.
As an RN working with the aged, I find I agree with JJB and that you should do the Cert III or IV in Aged Care first.
After all, many of the clients are the elderly and you will give yourself a grand foundation with the knowledge gained.
Palliative Care may indeed cross credit units; sounds very probable. ALL the best in your endeavours as you train.
