Additional information
The Carer Respite Centre provides a single contact point for carers to access respite care and information on other available resources to support them in their caring role.
A Carer is a person who is looking after someone who is frail, aged, has a disability, chronic illness or mental illness, and the Carer can be family, close friend or neighbours.
Respite care enables carers to have a break from their carers role to allow them time to attend appointments, go shopping, social engagements or just some 'time out'.
Care is available as short-term, occasional or emergency respite care.
A Freecall number is available for the cost of a local call:1800 059 059
