RHOC is a not for profit association located in Melbourne, Australia. The Hospice  was founded in 2017 by Nicole Beasley and incorporated in 2023. The Hospice is named after a very special hen. You can see Rosie Hen's story in the video above. 

​

OUR PURPOSE:

• To  provide rescue, rehabilitation and/or  palliative  care to injured and disabled chickens.  Our hospice  chickens receive the highest quality veterinary  care, boundless love and reasons to live. 

​

• To provide a range of public events promoting chickens as cherished companion animals. From Meet The Chickens Picnics and  Hospice Beach Adventures to Chicken  Health Check and Vaccination Days and even a Laughter Club with Chickens.

​

• To provide support for Animal Carers. RCOH runs  meditation groups, self compassion workshops and grief support services for animal carers. 

​

We have a small dedicated and highly experienced foster care team and occasionally have chickens available for adoption to the best homes.
