To donate to EPC, select the amount and then choose where to direct your donation. You can choose from:
- General Donation - Your gift will be used across all areas of client care.
- Syringe Driver Appeal - Donate Now! We are raising funds to buy ten Syringe Drivers. Costing $3K each, they are an essential part of palliative care. These small, portable battery operated pumps administer medicine continuously under the skin. They allow our clients to stay at home instead of hospital. Held in a shoulder bag our clients can move freely and detach it easily for bathing.
- Care for the Carers Appeal - Donate now! Your gift will go to all the services and programs that support those caring for EPC clients in their homes.
- Stay at Home Appeal - Donate now! Your gift will fund the key areas of EPC that are the most essential for clients to stay at home. These change according to demand and funds raised from this appeal are used in real time to cover the most urgent client needs.
- Equipment for Home Appeal - Donate now! Your gift will go towards the cost of providing specialised equipment for clients to use in their home. This equipment is often urgently required and sometimes hard to source on short notice. It will also go towards the cost to maintain, repair, store and clean our equipment. Note: EPC cannot accept donated second hand equipment.
- Overnight Support Appeal - Donate now! Your gift will support the overnight on-call nursing service as well as the overnight respite service. Both of these support the carer with peace of mind that a nurse is only a phone call away or that they can rest overnight while a qualified nurse takes care of their loved one in their own home.
EPC cares for those who have been diagnosed with a terminal condition, with little or no prospect of cure, and for whom the primary treatment goal is quality of life. We also work with and support their carers. Our services are delivered in the clients' home and are free-of-charge. Many of our clients wish to stay at home for as long as they can, instead of going to a hospital or hospice and we work hard to fulfill this request.

EPC is government funded and is also a not-for-profit organisation. Unfortunately our government funding has not risen at the same rate as the number of EPC clients we care fo so we rely on donations and bequests to help fill the gap. 100% of all donations go directly to client care.
Thank you for supporting those living at home with a terminal illness.
