Welcome to The Otis Foundation

ABC 7.30 Report feature - 8.46 minutes.

The Otis foundation is the realization of the dream of Judy Burley, it is committed to providing opportunities for those living with breast cancer to enjoy a relaxing time of sanctuary in a beautiful country environment free of charge.

In 2002 with the enthusiastic and generous support of the Bendigo and greater central Victorian community the Otis foundation constructed 2 self contained units in the Mandurang Valley.

Judy’s dream continues to inspire and we have since added 6 other properties in beautiful rural settings to our stable of retreats.

The foundation does not provide medical facilities and there are no resident staff on site. We are non denominational and welcome people of all faiths, backgrounds , races and sexualities
