Your storyis our story
We provide specialised paediatric palliative care services to babies, children and young people with a life-limiting condition, helping them make every moment precious when life is short. Since 2016, we have welcomed hundreds of families from right across Queensland into our warm embrace. Our vision is to be here for every eligible family that needs us.
Understanding that each family is different, Hummingbird House has developed an innovative range of services to meet differing needs. Our services are not just for children with life-limiting conditions, but for the whole family including parents and siblings.
Hummingbird House Brisbane is a medically supported home away from home for Queensland families loving and caring for a child with a life-limiting condition. Our purpose-built, warm and welcoming space is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of professionals
who offer short break stays, crisis or symptom management stays, family support, allied health, end of life and after death care, and grief and bereavement support (all links open in a new window). Hummingbird House Brisbane provides guests and families a place to come together, reconnect, and make memories to last a lifetime.
Hummingbird House recognises that family and community are fundamental to every family’s experience of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition, and that different families have access to different levels of support – with some experiencing severe disconnection, isolation and struggle. Our interdisciplinary team of therapists, community development workers and support staff work with families to increase their sense of connectedness and belonging – holding space for grief and joy in equal measure.
Hummingbird House accepts referrals from any health professional with a provider number, that is involved in your child’s care. Find out more here (link opens in new window).
“We brought our little boy here and had the best care. All the staff are lovely and so caring. They went above and beyond to help with us. We appreciate this organisation and couldn’t recommend it enough, for families like us, especially during hard times.”
