Help us raise $220,000 to help families create precious moments of love when time is short.
At Hummingbird House, we witness the heartbreak of children living with life-limiting conditions. With your support, more families will have the opportunity to say goodbye to their child in a dedicated, specialised environment — where expert care is provided in a warm, welcoming space that feels like home.
Hummingbird House is Queensland's only children’s hospice. We rely on the generosity of the Queensland Government and the community to ensure every family who needs us can access care at no cost to them.
Your contribution will help us continue this vital work.

Help create positive, lasting memories for families.
"A lot of my work is done outside of the house, connecting with families in their homes or in the hospital as well. The compassion and kindness amongst the staff is always something that's mentioned, so it's lovely to hear that feedback as well."
- Ainsley, Nurse Navigator at Hummingbird House.
"One of my favourite memories here at Hummingbird House is the time that one of the young people was able to go down the slide. She was about 15, and it was the first time she was able to do that because of her condition. It was pretty beautiful!"
- Lee-Anne, Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner
"The families really appreciate just the time they get to be a parent again. They're not the nurse anymore, they're not the physiotherapist. They can just be mum, they can just be dad, they can just be grandparents, because we're picking up the other things for them."
- Tayla, Personal Care Worker.
