Bear Cottage is a children’s hospice located in Manly, Australia and is part of the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network. It provides long-term care to children, including nursing care, music, play and art therapy, and food, cleaning, and counseling services. Bear Cottage is designed to be like a home away from home and as far removed from a hospital environment as possible. Staff do not wear uniforms, and no medical procedures are carried out in the bedrooms, which are designed to be like a normal bedroom.It opened on St Patrick's Day 17 March 2001 after $10 million had been raised from the community to build it. In 2017 its operational costs were approximately $3.7 million per year, with funding coming from the government, clubs and private sector. It is one of only three children’s hospices in Australia. Since 2016 the Cottage has been managed by Narelle Martin. Professor Les White is the Patron.
