KDF Foundation short-term accommodation application
KDF Foundation provides free short-term accommodation for eligible families affected by serious, chronic, permanent, or terminal illness. The purpose is to help children and families spend time together and have a short holiday during a difficult period.
KDF Foundation provides short-term accommodation only. It does not provide respite care, medical care, nursing care, personal care, disability support, crisis accommodation, or supervised care.
Applications are assessed fairly based on charitable purpose, medical need, financial hardship, accommodation need, property suitability, document support, and availability.
Before you begin
The accommodation is Sydney-based, provided free of charge, and similar to a short-term holiday rental. Families can request a stay up to 4 days. Bookings can only be requested at least 2 weeks in advance. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.
A doctor’s certificate or medical support letter is required for all applications. Financial hardship is a mandatory eligibility requirement.
