Who is eligible for a TimeOut stay?
TimeOut Stays are available to individuals who have been diagnosed with an incurable illness or stage 4 cancer - including metastatic, advanced stage, multiple locations or with a poor outlook.
TimeOut define an incurable illness as a condition that is progressive, cannot be cured, and is expected to limit life expectancy to five years or less.
As part of the application process, we require verification of diagnosis. This can be a recent report or letter from a supporting GP, registered medical practitioner, registered nurse practitioner or registered clinical nurse specialist. The document needs to be signed and dated within the last 6 months. To make this easier, we’ve created simple letters you can download and pass on to your GP or medical professional to complete. Once signed, you can upload the document with your application. Our team are happy to guide you through this step.

Please note that if the recipient’s health declines and they are no longer able to go on the TimeOut Stay, the booking will be postponed or cancelled. We encourage applicants to keep this in mind when making additional arrangements, such as travel.
