About Hummingbird House

Hummingbird House, Queensland’s only children’s hospice, operates as a medically supported ‘home away from home’ for children affected by a life limiting condition, and their families. The stand-alone purpose-built facility offers 8 guests in care beds, 5 family accommodation suites and a unique ‘end of life’ suite.

Underpinned by the notion of creating a ‘warm embrace’ for children and their families, the multidisciplinary team provides 24/7hr scheduled and emergency specialist care short break stays; pain and symptom management; care at the end of life; and psychosocial support programs for the whole family. With strong connections locally, nationally and internationally with specialist paediatric palliative care services, Hummingbird House is an integrated community-based service delivering flexible child and family centred care.
