There is no greater tragedy than a parent outliving their child. Unfortunately,
this is an all too common reality for some families. Zoe’s Place is dedicated
to assisting these families by providing a support network for families in
Queensland with children suffering life threatening illnesses.

Zoe’s Place understands the physical, psychological and emotional strains
that are placed on a family when one or more of their children is suffering from
a life threatening illness. That’s why we tailor flexible support according to
each family’s needs.

Zoe’s Place Children's Hospice is in the Brisbane suburb of Mt Ommaney.
Our services are Centre, Community and Hospital based. Through our
palliative, end-of-life, respite and bereavement services a team of professional
staff and trained volunteers support our families from diagnosis to bereavement
and beyond. Our Centre based respite service allows parents/carers to enjoy
a much needed break from the daily routine of being the primary caregivers,
to recharge their batteries and to spend time with their ill child's siblings and
each other.

Stage Two will be a specially designed 6 bedroom children's hospice with a
purpose built end-of-life facility including family accommodation. Stage
Three will be a 4 bedroom adolescent and young peoples unit catering for the
unique needs of this age demographic. Completion of the complex will cost
approximately $2 million.

Zoe’s Place is the only organisation in Queensland offering these crucial
support services, and we rely on donations and corporate sponsorship. If you
would like to assist us with making the future of the Centre a reality, please e-mail
us and help make a difference in the lives of these special children and their
families.
