Hospice Tairāwhiti provides community-based hospice care for the people of Tairāwhiti, from Morere to Potaka. Hospice, or palliative care, is specialised care for people living with life-limiting conditions, where there is no reasonable hope of cure.

Our focus is on improving quality of life for the patient and providing support for whānau. While pain relief and symptom control are often a focus, our delivery is based on Sir Mason Durie’s Te Whare Tapa Whā model, supporting the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of care. Ongoing support for whānau is offered after the death of their loved one.

Each year we receive over 260 new referrals and make more than 7,500 visits.

While hospice care is free to those who use it, it is not free to provide. Our contract with Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora partially funds our operating costs, leaving us to raise around $700,000 from the community every year.

Please help us continue to provide our services free of charge by making a donation.
