Charity Support for At-Home Palliative Care on the Sunshine Coast: How Supported at Home Can Help
Navigating palliative care for a loved one at home can be challenging, but thankfully, there are charitable organisations on the Sunshine Coast dedicated to providing essential support. If you or someone you know is in need of palliative care services, accessing the right resources can make all the difference. Here, we explore two incredible local charities—Mingary Care and Cittamani Hospice Service—that offer vital assistance, and how Supported at Home can provide additional private support to supplement comprehensive, personalised care.
Charitable Organisations Supporting At-Home Palliative Care
Mingary Care: Equipment and Temporary Support for Palliative Care Recipients
Mingary Care is a local charity offering essential equipment to palliative care recipients who may not yet have access to government-funded supports. Their services include:
Providing mobility aids, shower chairs, electric beds, and other necessary equipment on a loan basis.
Delivering these items directly to clients’ homes.
Monthly reviews to assess ongoing needs.
Potential access to temporary home support services (subject to availability and funding).

Cittamani Hospice Service: Comprehensive In-Home Palliative Care
Cittamani Hospice Service offers in-home nursing checks and additional palliative care support. Their approach is holistic, ensuring that individuals receive both medical and emotional support. However, accessing Cittamani’s services may require a referral from the individual’s treating healthcare practitioner.
