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.
We’re committed to meaningful change
The HammondCare Foundation strives to deliver relationship-based care to all who need it. By donating today, you can help us further these commitments:
Enriching lives through engagement
Improving peoples’ well-being and outlook through life-affirming initiatives, such as The Dreams Project.
Transforming palliative care
Fostering open conversations and empowering informed decisions for individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses.
Expanding access to care
Providing access to care for vulnerable people facing the prospect of homelessness, or living in regional or remote areas of Australia.
Quality aged care environments
Developing and enhancing the best care environments across Australia that enable residents to live well.
Help us make a difference
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.
