About Us
Yurana is the Aboriginal word for ‘loving’.
Yurana Cancer Kids Holiday Homes was formed as an independent charity in 1988 by a local group of volunteers. After much hard work we have been able to purchase four homes with the aim of relieving some of the stress families face with the rigours of medical treatment for the serious illness of a child, such as cancer or cystic fibrosis. We understand it is important for the whole family to holiday together, so all members can recharge their batteries.
Our first home was opened by Kate Critchlow in July 1988. Her idea has grown to what it is today. We now have four Yurana Holiday Homes located in Ulladulla on the South Coast of NSW, nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Milton, Ulladulla, Mollymook and surrounding districts are great holiday destinations simply to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounds, or to get involved in some of the local activities. We are pleased to be able to offer access to this beautiful holiday destination to families who really need a break.
Take advantage of our free holidays as a welcome relief away from the rigorous hospital routines and treatments. To be eligibile, you will need a referral from a social worker, doctor or appropriate health profesional. Should you have any questions please contact us.
