Fleur dreamed of a place like Sandcastles: a home by the sea, where children like her and the families who love them could simply be together.
— Miranda, Fleur’s mum
"It's a dream come true for families in difficult situations".
"They can come here together as a kind of last holiday — with good therapy, doctors and nurses around, and still have kind of a pleasure moment in their last days".
Right now, families have only two choices
More than 2,000 WA children are living with a life-limiting condition.
Until now, families have had only two options: home, or hospital.
A purpose-built children’s hospice gives them what they need most – time together, without compromise.
Sandcastles (Boodja Mia) Children’s Hospice acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land, the Whadjuk Noongar people and the Aboriginal people of the many traditional lands and language groups of Western Australia. We acknowledge the wisdom of Aboriginal Elders both past and present, and pay respect to them and Aboriginal communities of today.
