Summary
A vital regional hospice in Queensland, offering free end-of-life care to nearly 1,000 people over five years, is on the brink of closure after failing to secure an urgent $720,000 needed to cover annual costs. With voluntary administration looming June 10th and clinical services shutting down June 9th, the facility risks losing 20 staff and forcing patients to relocate to a local hospital. The board is desperately seeking a major donor within a week, while local leaders and the deputy mayor are urging the state government to step in. Community support is strong, but the scale of the shortfall demands a swift, large-scale solution to preserve this compassionate lifeline.
