WELCOME TO HOME Hospice

HOME Hospice is a free community program that provides support to people caring for terminally ill loved ones at home.

To achieve this, we provide carers with a volunteer Mentor, who guides them through the caring journey, providing information, education and links to the support services needed at this physically and emotionally demanding time.

While dying at home used to be a natural and normal part of family life, changes in society and healthcare mean that today, at best only three in ten people wishing to stay out of hospital for their last days get to do so.

Many people simply do not have the knowledge or the support to carry out these wishes - and that is where HOME Hospice can really help.

HOME Hospice is a FREE program available to anyone in Australia. If we have no trained Mentors in your area we can support you through our National Outreach Program.

"There's an Irish Word, 'Meitheal'. It means people of the village help one another out when the work is hardest. History suggests it sometimes takes an emergency for us to draw closer. Looking inward won't cut it. We discover who we are in service to one another, not the self." - Bono
