Inside the service preserving the stories of people with life-limiting illnesses

Key points

• Palliative Care ACT has launched A Moment in Time, a free storytelling service for people in the ACT with life-limiting illnesses. Participants can record an audio recording, a digital book, or both.
• They are matched with a trained volunteer who works with them over six to eight sessions, and they decide what is included. The service is open to people of any age.
• Palliative Care ACT CEO Paul Arztenhofe said the idea grew from his memories of his late father's stories, and the service also hopes to add video in the coming years.
