Children's Charities - Who We Are
One of the oldest Australian Children's charities, Cottage by the Sea is committed to providing, short-term
relief care for children whose families are experiencing difficulties. We offer care in a safe, enjoyable and
relaxed seaside holiday environment, providing families the opportunity to deal with their difficulties, secure in
the knowledge that their children are being looked after by caring, fully trained, professional staff with a
passion for helping children's charities. Each year, as the demand increases and more children are identified
as being in need of our services, we depend upon the generous public support for children's charities to
provide these children with memories to treasure and take them through life.
Children enjoy the delights of this wonderful carefree seaside holiday where
opportunities abound to develop self-esteem, learn new skills, discover life's
simple pleasures and make new friends. At the same time families (carers,
grandparents, sole parents) are provided with the opportunity of time out to
cope with personal difficulties, crises or just relief, secure in the knowledge
that their children are being well cared for and enjoying themselves. The
children are supervised twenty-four hours a day. All staff are qualified and/or
in-training teachers, child care workers or outdoor recreation leaders. At night
two staff are rostered on duty to take care of the children.
Your support for Australian charities like Cottage by the Sea means these programs will continue to run.
