Hospice Tairāwhiti

Hospice Tairāwhiti provides community based hospice care for the people of Tairāwhiti, from Morere to Potaka.
Hospice or palliative care is specialised care for people with life limiting conditions. Our focus is on improving quality of life for the person and providing support for the whānau.

Everything we provide is free of charge.

Anyone with a life limiting illness can access hospice care and support.

Hospice is a holistic wrap around service of care.

Hospice Awareness Week 12-18 May 2025
“They were angels,” said Norman Maclean’s family of the Hospice Tairāwhiti team.
Norman—an artist, teacher, and beloved community figure—spent his final weeks at home, surrounded by love and dignity thanks to hospice care.
But as demand grows, funding falls short. It’s time the government invested in the care that makes moments like these possible.
We share information with you here.
Weaving Stars
Weaving Stars

During Hospice Awareness Week (12–16 May), Hospice Tairāwhiti warmly invites you to join us for a heartfelt tribute of remembrance, reflection, and connection.

From 11am to 1pm each day, we’re hosting free Weaving Stars workshops at Hospice. Come along with whānau, friends, or neighbours—our team will be there to guide you, and tea and coffee will be available.

You’ll also have the chance to dedicate a woven star in memory of someone special with a $5 donation. Can’t make it in person? You can still dedicate a star here 

All stars will be displayed in our Hospice Shop window and later become part of our Matariki Remembrance Service in June.

Join us in weaving love, remembrance, and community together.
