There's no place like home...

Warrnambool & District Community Hospice was established to support home-based end of life care. We are pioneers of Hospice in the Home, a free community service, using specially trained volunteers to provide in-home support and respite to care-givers. 

Since Hospice in the Home began six years ago, we have helped over 120 local people and their loved ones make the most of their final days together at home.  Around 50% have achieved their wish to die in comfortable and familiar surroundings, and most have been able to stay home longer because of the support they received. 

As a free community service with no ongoing government funding, Hospice relies on your generosity and support.  Your gift will allow us to meet growing demand for Hospice in the Home and become involved earlier to maximise benefits to people at the end of life and their care-givers.
