The Day Hospice offers a day with a difference for those in our community with a life-threatening illness and their families.

The service operates on Mondays and Fridays between the hours of 9.00am - 4.00pm (except public holidays). It is staffed by experienced palliative care nurses and an activity officer who are well supported by trained volunteers.

The aim of the service is to provide a safe and supportive environment for palliative care clients to enjoy a range of activities, therapies, relaxation and give respite to carers or family members.

Currently there are 120 volunteers who are able to bring their life experiences, energy and skills to assist with the support of patients and their families who are receiving palliative care. All new volunteers undertake a comprehensive initial training program to provide them with the knowledge, confidence and compassion to care for the dying.

The retention rate for volunteers is very high, and training occurs a few times a year. We are always pleased to hear from anyone interested in volunteering.

Volunteers may choose to work in:
- Inpatient facility roster at Clare Holland House
- Residential aged care facilities
- Home-based palliative care.
- Society Council
