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

From providing critical respite to end-of-life care, Bear Cottage offers 24-hour paediatric palliative care with warmth, expertise and dignity at no cost to families. 

Families who care for a child with a life-limiting condition often do so around the clock. This can be emotionally exhausting, financially draining, and profoundly isolating. Time spent at Bear Cottage can provide space to rest, reconnect, and create meaningful memories together. 

Thank you for helping provide around-the-clock care for the state’s sickest children.
