A Bear Affair 2023

Bear Cottage is a very special place that is dedicated to caring for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. At Bear Cottage we believe that life, however brief, should be enriched, enjoyed and celebrated. ​

Providing critical respite and end of life care at no cost to families, our specialist paediatric palliative care ensures that we meet the psychosocial needs of the patient and their families.​

Families who care for a child with a life-limiting condition often do so around-the-clock for many years. We understand that this can be incredibly isolating and greatly impact the emotional, financial and physical wellbeing of the whole family. Time spent at Bear Cottage can alleviate some of these challenges.

Thank you for helping provide around-the-clock care to the state’s sickest children and being all in for kids’ health.
