The campaign launched last week at Bega’s Candelo Books, with Bega Valley resident Rose Liddall discussing her family's experience with palliative care and local musician Michael Menager performing to the crowd.

The organisation’s community engagement coordinator Kate Brett said over 200 names were added to a petition last week.

“It’s gone really well, we’ve had really natural conversations about the issue and everyone has been willing to put their name down,” she said.

According to Cancer Council NSW, 129 more full-time palliative care nurses are required across the state in order to bring it in line with the standard of the rest of the country.

“What is in place is fantastic, we just need more available,” Ms Brett said.

The campaign also visited the Cobargo Folk Festival over the weekend, with a special workshop mixing storytelling, with a question and answer session involving a panel of health professionals, specialists, advocates and local residents sharing their personal experiences.

“There was lots of conversation happening, and we had a really good workshop at the festival,” Ms Brett said.

“Everyone shared their stories, and I would like to thank the Cobargo Folk Festival for having us.”
