Improving quality of life for people in need

The HammondCare Foundation supports HammondCare’s mission to enhance quality of life for vulnerable people in our care. 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 government funding falls short, the HammondCare Foundation steps in to ensure that critical services remain accessible to everyone. Together, we can make a real difference.

You can help us make a difference

By donating to the HammondCare Foundation, you will assist with providing much-needed programs and initiatives through our services, including aged, dementia and palliative care. You can find some of these initiatives below.

Patient and family comfort

Additional funding helps us enhance our patients’ experience in countless ways, such as providing clinical approaches for better symptom control, alternative therapies, comfortable room furnishings, relaxing outdoor spaces, specialised mattresses and family-friendly facilities.

Medical equipment and training

Ongoing technology upgrades to vital equipment and services, alongside specialised training for staff funded by donors, allow us to provide best practice medical care for our patients – no matter their circumstances.

Research and innovation

Ground-breaking research means we can identify innovative approaches to care that improve the physical and mental well-being of those in our care. Past successes include new clinical approaches and non-medical therapies, such as the Arts on Prescription and Music Engagement programs.

Celebration of life and funeral fund

HammondCare believes every life matters, even after the last breath. We 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 urgent need in Inner Sydney, providing residential aged care accommodation in private rooms for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
