Overnight respite in the local community
Community Interlink - Goulburn Valley Health
National Respite for Carers Program.
Community Interlink is funded to deliver the National Respite for Carers Program which aims to enhance the quality of life of older people and their carers.
The focus is on supporting the primary carer, defined as the person (family member, friend, neighbour) who provides regular and sustained care and assistance to another person without payment for their caring role, other than a pension or benefit.
Respite can be offered through Personal Care, In Home Respite, Day Respite or Community-Based respite. The assistance has to be ongoing, or is likely to be ongoing for at least six months. (No short-term or one-off services.)
Community Interlink can offer advice and support on respite options for you and your carers.
