Take a tour of Fraser Coast Hospice

Providing fee free care for terminally ill people in the last days & weeks of their life.

FRASER COAST HOSPICE is a 6 bed purpose built inpatient facility that offers a flexible client and family centred model of care. We provide fee-free care to anyone in our community over 18 years of age who has terminal illness.

We are governed by a Board or Directors, elected by the Fraser Coast Hospice Association. Day to day operations are led by the Chief Executive Officer –  Director of Care supported by an administration, clinical and volunteer team.

In establishing a Hospice, we forged partnerships with Toowoomba and Ipswich Hospice, which are embraced by their communities. Our charter and mission have been guided by these partnerships.

People in the final phase of their life are recognised as some of the most vulnerable members of our community. For many, the special care needs that they wish for and require during that time of their life, are not readily available at home or in an acute hospital setting.

The Hospice provides a safe, welcoming space, where clients and loved ones can feel supported. We allow family members to resume their roles as spouse, child, parent or concerned friend, and step back from the role of carer, which many families can struggle to cope with.

The caring role at the Hospice is shared with dedicated nursing staff, volunteers and other health professionals, such as general practitioners,  specialists and pastoral care. Fraser Coast Hospice also provides ongoing bereavement support and follow up for families as well as regular remembrance services
