Albany Community Hospice officially opened on 15 November 1990. It was the accumulation of the dreams and dedication of many community members which resulted in possibly the first free standing day hospice in Australia that was totally owned and funded by the people.
From humble beginings, today Albany Communitiy Hospice is an 8 bed hospital providing person-centred care in a home-like environment to those with a life limiting illness in our community.
Thanks to the ongoing generosity of the community, we have been providing care for free for over 30 years.
Albany Community Hospice is the only community run Hospice in Western Australia and funds raised go directly to Hospice to fund the gap in our funding.
