As another year unfolds, we're filled with gratitude for the unwavering support that brings us immense joy, particularly from the Veteran Car Club of WA - Busselton, whose kindness is truly remarkable. Tania and Joy's generous visits at each year's end warm our hearts, and we're deeply thankful. Veteran car club of wa-inc Busselton

As 2025 draws to a close, we shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of our business, and with immense gratitude, we thank our dedicated garden and handyman volunteers, especially Margaret River Magic Manure and Mulch, whose generosity has been instrumental in keeping our serene gardens vibrant and thriving.

We encourage you to support these local champions who faithfully stand with us year after year, connected to our Hospice charity by threads of kindness and compassion. Our heartfelt thanks go to Margaret and her exceptional team of gardeners, Suzanne and Nello, Dennis, plus Josie who coordinates our garden crew, and to Kelly, whose efforts in spreading compost and mulch have made a tangible difference.

If you look closely, you’ll see that the $140K sticker is pink!!!!

That is to honour the amazing contribution of the Pink Bowls Day event organised by the Social Club at Busselton Lifestyle Village who have raised $23K over two years to support Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated!

An amazing bunch of people, big pink hearts! 🩷

No need to react, or comment, on this post, but please read the article from Palliative Care WA and access the resources.

…and a reminder that Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated has a committed team of bereavement support volunteers who you can connect with. Not formal counselling, but they are excellent listeners and part of our community.

“There isn’t one set path for grieving, and everyone's journey is different. The road is often messy, full of twists and turns. And for most, the journey is lifelong. It's not a matter of completing a grieving process, rather it's a process of growing around your grief.”

These words and artwork below are from Palliative Care Tasmania’s new grief resource, 'This Is Grief', written by Jess Sanders, illustrated by Stephanie Spartels, and shaped by the stories of 58 Tasmanians with lived experience.

🎉 Three Years of Impact and Partnership! 🎉

We are thrilled to celebrate the third year of our amazing partnership with Closed Loop during the Ironman Busselton event!

In 2025, Closed Loop and their incredible volunteers collected 3,994 containers, generating $399.40 through the Containers for Change WA scheme. But that’s not all—this year, Closed Loop went above and beyond by donating an additional $380 earned through recycling scrap metal! 💚

This combined contribution helps us continue delivering compassionate care and support to people living with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. 🌿

We are so grateful for this fantastic partnership and look forward to joining forces again for IRONMAN in Western Australia Busselton 2026! Thank you Bridget and team!

🎄✨ A Heartfelt Thank You ✨🎄

Today our bereavement support volunteers hosted the combined Bereavement Support Group Christmas gathering – and what a beautiful morning it was!

We are so grateful to Vasse Village by Bunbury Farmers Market for their generous support and to the Busselton Woodturners who for the 4th year running have added their incredible craftsmanship and kindness to this special occasion.

To our amazing volunteers – thank you for the care and heart you bring to every gathering. And to all the breakfast visitors who joined us, shared stories, and brought warmth to the table – you made it truly special.

From all of us at Busselton Hospice Care Inc, we wish you a peaceful, gentle Christmas filled with connection and comfort. 💜

Thank you to Carols by the Jetty Busselton for supporting Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated for the 3rd year now.

Please share amongst your networks, and even better grab a few friends and family and come down and support the carols. You may even see a small group of the lesser known (and rightly so) Hospice charity worker’s vocal talents boisterously singing along!

Just one week to go until the spectacular Carols by the Jetty event in Busselton!

From 4pm the kids can have their faces painted for a gold coin donation, with proceeds going to Busselton Hospice Care Incorporated. There will also be a free bouncy castle next to the face painting. Make sure you get to the amphitheatre early to reserve your spot for the carols at 6.00pm.

We are excited to celebrate with you!

Your kindness, compassion, and commitment bring comfort, dignity, and connection to those who need it most. Every conversation, every visit, every act of care creates ripples of hope in our community.

At our recent Volunteer Christmas Party, we had the privilege of recognising your incredible contributions and years of service. Whether you’ve been with us for months or decades, your impact is immeasurable.

Thank you for walking alongside us, for sharing your gifts so generously, and for reminding us every day what humanity at its best looks like.

💜 We see you. We appreciate you. We celebrate you.
