Hummingbird House

Hummingbird House is Queensland's only children's hospice.

Right now, there are over 5,700 Queensland families loving and caring for a child with a life-limiting condition. Sadly, this means that their child is not expected to reach adulthood. The emotional, physical and financial struggle for some families can be overwhelming. And the opportunity to stay connected – to their partners, other children, family and friends – almost impossible, as they navigate their roles as 24-7 carers.

Hummingbird House is Queensland’s only children’s hospice, and one of only three children’s hospices in Australia. 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.

Hummingbird House supports families right across Queensland and strives to provide true choice about when, where and how they receive our care. Families can choose to access our services at our purpose-built home away from home in Brisbane, or in their home or community.

Since 2016, Hummingbird House has 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, and ensure they are connected to a community that knows how to care for them; in life, death and bereavement.

Hummingbird House was built by Queenslanders for Queenslanders, and to this day relies on the generosity and support of the Queensland Government and corporate and community supporters to ensure our service is here for every family that needs us, at no cost to them.

20% of every Entertainment Membership sold will support Hummingbird House.

Our goal is to raise $3,700, which means we need to sell 285 memberships. Please help us by sharing this link with your friends and family, and encouraging them to buy a membership.

Thank you for helping to create a place where kids can be kids, families can reconnect, and precious memories can be created.
