Hopewell Hospice provides the hospitality of a loving and supportive community in which skilled nursing care and holistic pain control are combined with the warmth and comfort of a home-style environment.

By providing physical, social, emotional and spiritual care, Hopewell assists those whom it serves in choosing and attaining their preferred mental and spiritual preparation for the experience of death. This in itself often leads to extended longevity by supporting the natural healing forces in each person.

Hopewell recognises dying as a normal part of life, whether or not resulting from disease, and its Hospice services seek neither to hasten that process nor to postpone it. The emphasis, rather, is on making whatever remains of life as pleasant as possible and on encouraging all who are involved to live fully and creatively for the whole of life.

Hopewell Hospice respects the right of residents to participate in decisions about their treatment and care.

The Hopewell Team works to enhance the residents’ sense of independence and personal choice to the fullest extent possible within the limitations of their health status and of respect for the needs of others in the Hospice community.

As well as supporting people who are dealing with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, Hopewell responds to the needs of the residents’ families and friends, and encourages their participation in the care process.

To develop a community sensitive to individual needs, Hopewell’s staff and volunteers are encouraged to work as an integrated team, to participate in programs of professional development, and to share in the search for continued personal and spiritual growth.

Established as an expression of Christian compassion, Hopewell Hospice is an inclusive community that welcomes and respects the personal religious and spiritual beliefs of people of all faiths, as well as those who have no particular faith tradition.

As a community-based charitable organisation, Hopewell also provides support services and education programs for the wider community.

As part of the growing network of palliative care services, Hopewell Hospice operates within the Standards of Palliative Care Provision developed by Palliative Care Australia, as well as the requirements of Queensland Health. Accreditation has been achieved through the Australian Council of Healthcare Standards and Hopewell has a contract with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to care for veterans. Hopewell embraces the priciples of the principles of the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights.
