FAMILY SUPPORT

“Sometimes kids have a short time with us but giving them some memorable experiences, freedom to have fun and the opportunity to just be a kid is so important. For us at the Foundation, it’s not about curing cancer, there are other experts that are working hard at this noble endeavour. Our focus is to create moments of happiness, a chance to relax, to have fun. To provide respite for families during hard times and support for families in Perth undergoing treatment. It’s simple in approach, yet that simplicity creates beautiful moments that are treasured forever,” Matt, the Foundation President said.

The Kyle Andrews Foundation provides support to families with children undergoing treatment for cancer, suffering an ongoing medical condition or families experiencing a recent bereavement.

We exist to support children and their families doing it tough – through a range of activities and services: 

Kyle’s Camp for Kids, Broome

The Kyle Andrews Foundation with support of their sponsors and the generosity of the local community annually provide the holiday of a life-time in Broome for approximately 15 – 18 children undergoing treatment from Perth Children’s Hospital for a much-needed, week long break from difficult therapy and treatments. 

Family Respite home – Kyle’s Cottage, Broome

We have a fully self-contained respite home in Broome for families with children who may have life threatening illnesses and are undergoing treatment. Families can stay in Broome to enjoy much needed respite and to take a holiday together in such a beautiful part of Australia. 

Family apartment for Perth treatment – Gibb Retreat

We have a comfortable, well located apartment in West Perth to provide accommodation for those from the North West while undergoing medical treatment in Perth.

Kyle’s Getaway – Busselton (Stage 1 Now Open!)

Kyle’s Getaway offers respite accommodation at a beachfront location in Busselton for eligible families.
This facility will broaden the holiday respite opportunities during the wet season period (Nov-March) in
Broome when conditions are extreme in the North but perfect in southern locations.
The facility is currently being developed in stages on a beach front lot, with 2 Cottages opening in December 2025 and a 3rd in planning with anticipated opening late June/July 2026
We understand that going on a holiday when having a child going through treatment and therapy for a life-threatening illness can be financially difficult. It is also difficult when families have recently experienced the bereavement of losing a child. 

Respite for families and Carers is so important for the health of everyone.

This accommodation is also available to nursing staff working the Oncology Ward at the Perth Children’s Hospital for minimal cost.

We want all families to be able to have the option to go on a holiday, escape the day-to-day stress, to have a break and recuperate. 

The property has a number of accommodation options completed and we welcome your booking request.
