Sunshine Coast Hospice

We support people with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. We’re also working with VCH to open the Coast’s first residential hospice in 2026.

Through trained volunteers, we offer free grief, bereavement and advance care planning services. Coast Hospice has been providing compassionate care since 1987. Our volunteers offer companionship and bereavement support at home, in hospital and in comfortable private hospice rooms here on the Sunshine Coast. Hospice provides extensive volunteer training and support in bereavement and vigil care to allow us to continue to provide the best services possible. Together we make a difference; together we create a compassionate community.

Our grief programs and services are here whenever you're ready. Whether it is a one-on-one companion, an eight-person grief group, grief counselling or a healing arts series, we are here for you. 💛💙

On this day of recognition, we invite you to support the causes close to your heart. Here are five ways to support your favourite nonprofits on National Nonprofit Day!

💸 Donate – Every contribution helps bring comfort and dignity.
🙋‍♀️ Volunteer – Your time can change lives.
🖥 Share – Help spread awareness.
💓 Remember – Honour a loved one with a legacy gift.
🤝 Connect – Reach out, learn more, and get involved.

Thank you for walking alongside us. Together, we’re building a legacy of care on the Lower Sunshine Coast. 💙
