Abstract
A discourse analysis of aged care and palliative care policy documents for the period 2000-mid 2001 was undertaken. The analysis highlighted competing discourses about care of the dying in residential aged care. This paper describes the main discourses, explores competing and hidden discourses, and raises questions about the disparities found.
