Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust

The Upper Clutha Palliative Care Trust (formerly the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust) was formed by a group of Wanaka residents to develop palliative and respite care suite in the Upper Clutha for the benefit of those suffering from terminal illnesses. 

The Trust’s concept is to provide facilities and support for the terminally ill that is not provided by other parties in the Upper Clutha. The Trust works alongside other service providers such as the Otago Community Hospice, the Cancer Society, GP's, Aged Care providers etc to augment what is available to Upper Clutha residents.

The Trust’s Stina Mooyman Palliative & Respite Care Suite is located in the Aspiring Care Centre on Cardrona Valley Road in Wanaka, adjacent to the Wanaka Health Centre.

The UCPCT is a registered charity with the Charities Commission number CC49439

Referral

Admission to the Palliative Care Suite will normally be initiated by a patient’s GP, by the Wanaka District Nurses or by Otago Community Hospice staff involved with the patient’s care in the community.
