Event

Come and listen to the story of how Paul Quilliam and wife, Gabrielle, were inspired to provide best practice short break stays and care at the end of life for children with a life-limiting condition and their families, and to help families discover moments and create memories to last a lifetime.

Hummingbird House delivers best practice paediatric palliative care for children affected by life-limiting conditions and their families. It provides access to short break stays, family wellbeing services, creative therapies, and care at the end of life, and works to meet the needs of each individual child and their family.

Hummingbird House ensures that children can have a break from hospitals and daily routines, and that parents have the opportunity to gain a few hours of undisturbed sleep and the chance to be mum or dad to all their children rather than the exhausted 24/7 medical carer. It is a medically supported home away from home, where kids can be kids, families can reconnect, and, memories can be created to last a lifetime.
