Palliative Care Queensland (PCQ) is a leading charity and peak body, established in 1988. We are membership-based, supporting the individuals, families, carers, community members, as well as specialist and generalist health care professionals working with Queenslanders experiencing serious illness, dying, death and grief.
Our belief is that every single human deserves to live every day until their last. We are committed to ensuring that every Queenslander has access to quality palliative care that is holistic and encompasses the individual’s social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.
Our signature program is Ambulance Wish Queensland where we fulfil last wishes for people living with life limiting illnesses. We also deliver community education, information, awareness raising, and advocacy on behalf of our members and sector.

2024 is a growth year for Palliative Care Queensland. We are expanding our Ambulance Wish QLD program from two ambulances covering southeast Qld and Townsville to four ambulances, with two new hubs in the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba. Our LEARN program delivering community education and information is also growing. We have just launched our new website as part of a national rebrand in late 2023 and are embarking on an exciting consumer communication project in 2024, including an enhanced National Palliative Care Week campaign in May.
The Fundraising & Relationships Officer is a new and exciting role set to challenge someone who is passionate about the palliative care industry and dedicated to building meaningful relationships with donors, stakeholders, and the wider community. As our organisation expands its programs and outreach, the Fundraising & Relationships Officer will play a pivotal role in securing funding to support our initiatives, cultivating partnerships with philanthropic individuals, corporations, and grant-making organisations. You will be involved in developing and implementing comprehensive fundraising strategies, leveraging both traditional and innovative approaches to meet ambitious revenue targets.
Additionally, as Palliative Care QLD is a membership-based organisation, you will work with the management team to manage the membership database and assist the team in promoting future membership. This will involve ensuring accurate record-keeping, facilitating membership renewals, and implementing strategies to attract new members.
The Fundraising & Relationships Manager will collaborate closely with colleagues across various portfolios to maximise member engagement and retention, recognising the vital role our members play in supporting our mission. This aspect of the role offers an opportunity to foster strong connections within our community and deepen our impact through sustained support and involvement.
