For over 30 years, Amitayus Home Hospice Service has been providing palliative support and non-medical assistance to people at end of life, or living with life-limiting conditions who wish to remain at home as long as possible.
They are a non-sectarian, not-for-profit organisation serving the Byron Shire and surrounds.
Offering free care
President Gina Trengrove says, ‘We offer respite to families and primary carers, free of cost’.
‘We aim to uphold and enhance people’s independence and freedom of choice in challenging circumstances’.
Those looking for a meaningful and fulfilling way to be involved in the community are invited to the ‘last aid’ volunteer carers training, to be held 8–10 May, at the Byron Community College in Mullumbimby.

Additionally, the public are welcome to the upcoming Amitayus AGM on Thursday, April 9, from 5pm at the Brunswick Heads CWA rooms.
Ms Trengrove adds, ‘We are looking for volunteer carers and those with organisational skills for our committee’.
‘We know there are lots of people in our community looking to contribute to a worthwhile cause’.
