South Coast In-Home Respite and In-Home Respite Complex Care

This service provides innovative, time limited, in-home respite support for carers/families who are caring for a frail older person, a person with dementia and/or people with a disability.

The service provides one on one respite in the home by fully qualified paid staff and volunteers for those who meet the Home and Community Care (HACC) and service criteria. Hours of respite will be determined at the time of the referral.

Carers will be offered a flexible time-limited package of service.

We can also assist with information and support, referrals to other services for ongoing support needs, access to a carer support group and assistance in finding further support services in the carer's local area.

A small hourly fee is charged.

For more information, please contact Deborah or Maree at the Aged Care Office.
