Currently, there are thousands of Queensland families loving and caring for a child with a life limiting-condition. Sadly, this means that their child is not expected to reach 18 years of age. The emotional, physical and financial struggle for these families can be overwhelming. And the opportunity to stay connected—to their partners, other children, family and friends—almost impossible, as they navigate their role of 24-7 carer.

Hummingbird House is Queensland’s only children’s hospice, and one of only three children’s hospices in Australia. We provide specialised paediatric palliative care services to children and young people with a life-limiting condition, helping them make the most of every precious moment they have.

Your donation, large or small, allows our services to be accessible to over 6,100 children in Queensland with a life-limiting condition, and their families. Did you know:
