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 24/7 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.
