COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT
WHEN IT'S NEEDED MOSTSouthern Highlands Community Hospice raises charitable funds to support and fund palliative care patients exclusively, throughout the Southern Highlands.
By adopting an innovative approach, we have partnered with numerous and diversified Southern Highlands palliative care service providers, to deliver funding and support.
The Southern Highlands Community Hospice (SHCH) was established in 2010 as a charitable organisation, to provide hospice and palliative care services for the Southern Highlands community.
Initially, a purpose-built hospice was to be built however, due to a lack of government funding and a reliable income stream to support such an ambitious project, the Constitution was revised in 2017 to a model that funds and supports palliative care through an ever-growing channel of partners committed to the needs of palliative care and end-of-life patients.
We are a registered company and community-based charity, underpinned by a dynamic team of over 80 volunteers.
Currently, the charity is supported by our retail store on Bong Bong Street, Bowral, Timeless Fashion and Furniture, which on-sells pre-loved donated quality merchandise. Revenue generated directly supports patients requiring palliative care services through our partnership arrangements.
We are committed to this comprehensive and successful charitable funding model and its future opportunities to meet the palliative care needs of our fast-growing Southern Highlands community.
SERVICES WE OFFER
Throughout the Southern Highlands, demand for a diversified approach to palliative care is growing at a rapid pace. By employing a fresh approach to thinking, innovative concepts in how palliative and hospice care can be made accessible, has resulted in the implementation of programs to fund and support the community in order to offer the following services:
