Your Legacy, Our Community's Future
When you choose to leave a gift to Fraser Coast Hospice in your will, you're ensuring that future Fraser Coast families will have what your community built: a place of peace.
Your bequest becomes part of something bigger. A community that looks after its own, where no one faces their final chapter without dignity, comfort, and care.
Why Your Bequest Matters
Fraser Coast Hospice exists because our community recognised an essential need and came together to meet it. Keeping our care fee-free requires ongoing community commitment.
Your legacy gift helps ensure that:

Our service remains accessible: Essential community infrastructure that's always there when needed
Future generations benefit: This vital service will be there for generations to come

Ways to Leave Your Legacy
There are several ways to include Fraser Coast Hospice in your will, each offering different benefits depending on your circumstances and wishes.
- A portion of your estate allows you to balance family provision with community investment. Many people choose to leave a percentage, which naturally adjusts with changes in their estate value over time.
- A specific dollar amount gives you certainty and control. You might choose a figure that feels meaningful to you, whether that's $1,000 or $100,000 or any amount that reflects your connection to our community.
- What's left after family provision ensures your loved ones are cared for first, then directs any remaining funds to continue caring for future families in our community.
- Property, shares, or other assets can sometimes be more tax-effective than cash gifts, and may suit your particular financial situation.
We recommend discussing your bequest intentions with your solicitor or estate planning professional, who can provide the specific legal wording needed for your will. We're happy to provide background information about our work and answer any questions you might have.
