I don't know about Australia, but in this US you can be given a palliative  
to relieve your pain. My dictionary, The American College Dictionary, cites the 
 noun form second and defines it as "something that palliates".
 
My choice for a palliative might be the aperitive (or aperitif) that Tamara  
was referring to. But don't tell those primitives, my  relatives, or their 
agent operatives since it  is none of their business what I use for a 
restorative.
