Our Mission is to create a community Hospice in the Home service for people who are dying. Our vision is to provide people who are dying with the option of compassionate care in their own home settings, meeting the living needs of those who are dying as well as the needs of their family and friends. Volunteers provide direct support to people in need of care, carers and families as part of a multidisciplinary team. The volunteer fulfils support requirements identified by the people in need of care, carers and families, in consultation with the Hospice Manager. Volunteers must comply with volunteer policies and procedural requirements of the Warrnambool and District Community Hospice. Volunteers provide a wide range of services, such as: practical assistance to the dying person practical assistance to the family and carers giving family or carers the opportunity to take a break any other helpful tasks within the boundaries of the volunteer
