Annual Review highlights impact hospices make

Our 2024-2025 Annual Review highlights the impact hospices made in their communities along with our progress advocating for a fairer and sustainable funding model. 

Hospices continue to care for around one in three New Zealanders who die each year.  Last year, hospice reached 20,181 people, including 11,471 who died.

"We’ve navigated a challenging landscape of reform and uncertainty within the wider health system, while continuing to
demonstrate the extraordinary value of hospice care to our communities." says Chief Executive, Wayne Naylor.
