But we need your help so we can continue providing compassionate care to families who need it most. You can make a difference by donating at epcvic.org.au/donate.

💗 Your support helps fill the gaps
Although EPC receives government funding, it doesn’t cover all the essential services our clients and their families rely on. That’s where donations — especially regular giving — make a real difference.

Regular donations help us:
✔️ Direct funds to areas of greatest need, as needs arise
✔️ Maintain and replenish essential equipment used in clients’ homes
✔️ Sustain free services for clients, carers and families
✔️ Plan services with greater confidence and stability

You can choose how much and how often you give — whatever works for you. Even a small, regular donation adds up to meaningful, lasting care for people who need it most.

💗 By giving regularly, you become a partner in EPC’s mission to ensure everyone has access to high‑quality palliative care at home, regardless of their circumstances.
