Improving quality of life for people in need

The HammondCare Foundation supports HammondCare’s mission to enhance quality of life for the most vulnerable. For many Australians, the cost of essential services is a barrier to receiving the support they desperately need.

Inspired by Rev Bob Hammond’s vision during the Great Depression, we continue to stand by those in need. When standard funding sources fall short, the HammondCare Foundation steps in to ensure critical services remain accessible to everyone.

Together, we can make a difference.

Help us make a difference

Donating to the HammondCare Foundation helps provide essential programs and initiatives through our range of services including aged, dementia and palliative care.

The Care Fund

The Care Fund enhances patient experience in countless ways, such as providing comfortable room furnishings, relaxing outdoor spaces, specialised mattresses and family-friendly facilities, clinical approaches for better symptom control and alternative therapies.

The Dreams Project

Bringing transformative experiences to people of all ages who are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and their families. The Dreams Project offers joy and comfort and, for many, a rare chance to spend time with loved ones and create memories in their final days.

Research and innovation

Ground-breaking research identifies innovative approaches that improve the physical and mental well-being of those in our care, such as the Arts on Prescription and Music Engagement programs. We also fund technology upgrades to vital equipment and specialised training for staff.

Palliative care and support

The HammondCare Foundation believes every life matters as we foster and enable open conversations and informed decisions for those facing life-limiting illnesses. We also provide in memoriam services and culturally specific funerals for those without financial means, because every life deserves to be celebrated.

HammondCare Darlinghurst

HammondCare Darlinghurst is meeting an important unmet need in Inner Sydney, providing residential aged care accommodation in private rooms for people experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness. Our ongoing support helps provide the best care available.
