Welcome

to Hospice Whanganui
We have been providing free specialist palliative care for people with a life-limiting illness since 1981.
Our commitment is to support all our patients and their whānau/family, to live life to the full.

Hospice Whanganui

We are here 24/7
We provide 24/7 care to patients and their whānau, whenever and wherever they need us.

    Our team of dedicated and skilled professionals provide palliative care and support for people throughout the greater Whanganui community as well as Waverley and Waimarino.

    Our services are provided in patients’ own homes or the places they choose to be, meaning our team will come to you, wherever you are.

    We also have fully equipped rooms in our beautiful and peaceful facility to provide short-term stays for patients and whānau/family, where needed.

    Our patients are usually referred to us through their GP or their specialist, but patients can also self-refer if they meet the criteria for a Hospice referral.
