Additional Information: Flexible Care Packages use case management and discretionary funds to assist and support families and carers to care for people with a disability at home.

The packages, which aim to maximise independence and participation in the community, are designed to prevent the need for more costly services or long-term residential placement.

Flexible Support Packages offer support to individuals seeking short-term assistance, approximately 3 months duration, and people requiring intensive or longer term support.

Case Managers work in partnership with individuals and their families and carers to identify support needs and develop a plan to increase the individual's capacity and family's resilience.

Who Can We Help?

Flexible Support Packages are designed for children, young people and adults with a disability, as well as their families and carers, where relevant.
Packages are allocated according to the relative need of people and consideration of the following:

-- Ageing carers

-- Carers with fragile health

-- People who require brief and timely intervention to prevent or minimise the need for long-term high cost support

-- People who have high or complex support needs

-- People who experience significant difficulties accessing community services and flexible service responses

-- People who demonstrate significant levels of stress and where the family is at risk of breaking down

-- People whose support needs change rapidly and are at risk of moving to supported residential services

24 Hour Emergency Respite Care: Freecall - 1800 068 978 (free call from landline)

Carer Support Services provides a 'first contact' information point for carers, to assist and support them in accessing services including respite care.

Carers come from all backgrounds, and range from the very young to the elderly. Carers give their time and energy to those for whom they care. But looking after someone can be exhausting and seem never ending. Some carers have support, but many feel very much alone.

This team provides a 'first contact' information point for carers, to assist and support them in accessing services including respite care.

Commonwealth Carer Respite Centres work with carers to plan sensible approaches to respite and other support needs and also arrange 24 hour emergency respite care.

Our Regional Residential Respite Carer Support Worker is based in the Bendigo Office, and contactable on the above 1800 number.

The service:
-- Coordinates access to respite care services
-- Develops and maintains a residential respite booking service
-- Provides practical and emotional support to carers
-- Has 24-hour emergency access

All referrals from service providers must have the Carer Profile completed in addition to completed SCTT Consumer Profile (Care recipient), Summary and Referral and Consent to Share Information form.
