Te Omanga Hospice is a Charitable Trust that specialises in support and care for those living with a terminal illness, helping patients to make the most of their life that remains and ensuring that they die comfortably with dignity and in their own homes if they wish.

 The Hospice also provides support and care for the family and close friends during the patient’s illness and in bereavement. All the Hospice services  are provided free of charge to its 600 plus patients each year. The Hospice has been providing its services to the Hutt Valley community since 1979.

The specialist team of doctors, nurses and therapists together with the support of a volunteer army of 500 focus on enabling patients to have quality time at the end of their life.

All hospice services are provided free of charge to patients and families. 

Te Omanga receives 35% of its annual funding needs from the local community with the balance being provided through a contract with the Hutt Valley District Health Board.

 It is no exaggeration to say that Te Omanga Hospice could not survive without the kindness and understanding of individuals and organisations in the community we serve.

It costs over $6 million every year to maintain our existing levels of service.

We have to raise over $2.3 million of this from our community  - a tremendous challenge.
