About

Provide hospice palliative care services to patients with life limiting illnesses and their families, for the communities of South & South East Auckland.

Story

Totara Hospice South Auckland provides specialist palliative care services to the entire South and South-East Auckland area, our community of 450,000+ people is one of NZ’s largest. We support patients and their families living with life limiting illnesses. All of our services are provided free of charge to any person regardless of age, ethnicity, illness or need. 1/3 of our patient caseload is under 60, we have an average of 400-600 patients monthly, and our community nurses make around 10,000 home visits every year. Totara Hospice is only 59% funded by the government, we must raise the balance of $3m through fundraising. Every dollar you donate to Totara Hospice gives someone with a terminal illness in your neighbourhood the strength, support and opportunity to make the most of every day they have. Our organisation is highly reputed and at one point or another, most individuals will have contact with Hospice directly or in-directly.
