At Torbay Lifestyles & Care, we support the ongoing needs of people living with life-limiting illnesses. Our health professionals understand that each person’s palliative care needs vary. So, we ensure each person feels nurtured by providing life care that’s dignified, comforting and emotionally supportive for residents and their family members. Our palliative care in Hervey Bay provides a place that feels like home so you can manage your illness in a comforting setting.
What Are Palliative Care Services?
Palliative care helps those with serious illnesses focus on living well, not just existing. By managing symptoms and providing comfort, it eases physical burdens and creates space for emotional peace. Palliative care services include:
- Focus on Quality of Life
- Symptom Management
- Holistic Approach
- Support for Families
- Not Just End-of-Life Care
Personalised Care Team
We go beyond medical care. Our specialist palliative team consists of experienced healthcare professionals who work together to create a personalised plan for each resident. Each plan focuses on pain and symptom management while prioritising the resident’s physical comfort. Our local community team also includes other health professionals, including social workers, counsellors, and spiritual carers who provide emotional and spiritual guidance and support aboriginal customs.
Supportive Palliative Care Services
Our facilities are warm and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable and can be personalised by bringing your own cherished belongings. We encourage family members to visit with their loved ones living with a life-limiting illness, and we can provide dedicated, private spaces to spend quality time with each other.
We understand that each person’s wishes for palliative care are unique. Working closely with each resident and their families, we ensure each person’s wishes are respected. This includes discussions around pain management and spiritual care. We are sensitive to giving the best life care regardless of cultural and religious beliefs and ensuring everyone feels supported and understood.

Family Support During Care
Torbay Lifestyles & Care understands that palliative care extends to a resident’s loved ones. Our carers and medical specialists within the Fraser Coast community offer support groups and counselling services for families coping with the emotional challenges of a loved one’s illness. We encourage family to ask questions and are available to answer them and provide guidance throughout what is a difficult process for most.
Making Difficult Times Easier
Our palliative care program strives to make a difficult time a little easier for residents and their families. By providing compassionate care, a supportive environment, and respect for individual wishes, we create a space for terminally ill people where dignity and comfort are paramount.
