This is the front entrance of the Hospice, which is located in Barton, on the turnoff to the Boatshed restaurant.

This sign clearly states that the Hospice is part of Calvary Health Care ACT, which also conducts the Private and Public Hospitals at Bruce.

A typical room. The rooms are light and airy with views of the lawns and courtyard area, most having a view of Lake Burley Griffin.

Looking across the Lake to Kingston. The tall building slightly to the right of centre is the shell of the Kingston Power Station. In Canberra's early days residents would set their clocks by the steam whistle on its roof.

There are barbecue facilities for patients and visitors accessible from the Visitors' and Patients' lounge.

This is the nurses' station with rooms in easy reach on both sides.

The ACT Hospice and Palliative Care Society occupies a room at the Hospice and coordinates the Volunteer program, in which volunteers undergo training and help in various ways, particularly in providing companionship to patients. The room is at the end of the corridor to the left, after entering the front doors. The Society is the ACT constituent body of the umbrella organisation Palliative Care Australia.

Home Based Palliative Care (HBPC) store room. HBPC staff work from the Hospice but are mostly travelling the road. Drugs which might be required by a patient are kept under lock and key in a special container in the patient's home, not here, so that they can be administered urgently if required.

Some of the handiwork by patients. Day care patients can visit during 4 days per week, of which 3 involve art and craft work. On Tuesdays there has been an art and creativity project conducted which has involved 260 patients since its commencement.

The educator's office. The educator is available to address outside organisations and groups of interested people.
