Toowoomba Hospice

16/10/2026

We are looking forward to seeing you all there, pop in and say hello to the Toowoomba Hospice Team. 🫶

Most of us will spend more time planning a holiday than we do thinking about end-of-life choices.

The Death Expo isn't about being morbid. It's about being informed.

This free community event creates a safe and welcoming space to ask questions, learn about the services and support available, and explore topics that many of us avoid until we're faced with them unexpectedly.

We're proud to be sponsoring the event and look forward to meeting members of our community throughout the day.

See the flyer below for details.
