Welcome to The Otis Foundation
The hundreds of guests who take advantage of The Otis Foundation’s retreat accommodation each year consider the organisation a hidden gem.
Word of "The Otis Experience" is spreading rapidly, but there is still much work to be done to ensure that those in need of a helping hand are empowered to reach out.
Otis provides retreats for women and men with breast cancer at no accommodation charge.
The not-for-profit organisation was proudly born in the Central Victorian township of Bendigo and has undergone a rapid and exciting expansion over the past two years.
The Foundation currently has nine properties in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia and is strongly committed to ongoing growth, with plans to evolve into a national network.
Otis retreats offer time out to relax, reconnect and regroup for those struggling with the challenges that come alongside serious illness.
Each has been hand chosen for its location, in a beautiful environment which allows guests to draw on nature for strength and comfort.
Partners, family members and friends are welcome to stay but often those who call on The Otis Foundation are looking for solitude or quality time with only those closest to them.
