Our Values
Mary Potter Hospice affirms life and recognises dying as a normal process.
- Our care neither hastens nor postpones death
- Our care provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms
- We appreciate the uniqueness of every individual and family within our care and their right to be treated with dignity, respect and understanding of their cultural needs
- We strive to provide care which meets the physical, psychological, spiritual, cultural and social needs of patients and their families
- We value our multi-disciplinary team and provide opportunities for self development, staff support and education
- We utilise the skills, experience and knowledge of our team to provide the highest possible standard of patient-focused care
The Hospice provides the best quality specialist palliative care service to people living with a terminal illness and gives their families the support they need. Hospice care is available to all who need it. The Hospice supports the right for people to die as they live and works with them to minimise their suffering.
Each year, the Hospice needs to raise just over $3 million on top of the government funding that is provided to keep our services free to patients and their families.
