Ambulance Wish’s purpose is simple, to give Queenslanders living with a life-limiting condition a day that they’ll never forget, surrounded by those they love the most.
Steven “Fred’s” wish was to attend the Gatton Races
Former horse owner, breeder and trainer for over 30 years, Steven (lovingly known as “Fred”), wished for a day out at the races with his family and friends. He was joined by his wife Carol, sons Daniel and Jake, close family friends and stable mates to enjoy a day watching horses thunder down the track.
Valma’s wish was to return to her childhood home
To return to her childhood home that had been in the family for over 5 generations, was what Valma had been wishing for the most. Sitting out on her favourite spot on the property, reliving fond memories spanning over decades, Valma was joined by her two granddaughters, Jasmine and Candice.
Malcolm’s wish was to have a picnic at Kirra Beach
Malcolm’s wish was to have a picnic at Kirra Beach, famous as one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic surfing spots and a place where he and his family had holidayed often. Joined by his wife Susan, children Brenden and Corrine, daughter-in-law Dom and grandson Carter, Malcolm was able to reminisce over his younger days as a Surf Lifesaver.

“Different Stages”, a powerful visual story unique to Palliative Care Queensland, represents the stories of our lives being retold through families and communities sitting around yarning.
The footprints we leave behind are represented in the dots, while the stories of our lives being retold is depicted through the community sitting around the yarning circle. Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders motifs and colours are used.
We are proud to display the artwork in our office spaces and resources, as well as incorporated into our Reconciliation Action Plan.
