Toward a comprehensive research agenda: exploring the health economics of palliative care in Australia
This paper outlines high-priority research actions to generate the economic evidence required for appropriate funding and resource allocation in palliative care. The research agenda serves as a strategic tool to help researchers address gaps without duplicating efforts. By focusing on these priorities, we aim to support the development of more effective, equitable and sustainable palliative care services across Australia.
