Honouring 40 Years

Reflecting on 40 Years of Care

Since 1985, Ballarat Hospice Care has provided compassionate, in-home specialist palliative care to people in our community. As we mark 40 years, we reflect on the people, stories, and milestones that have shaped our journey.

For four decades, our dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and supporters have ensured people receive the highest quality care at the end of life. This milestone is an opportunity to honour our past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to the future of palliative care in our region.
