Interchange Illawarra - Flexible Respite

Other

Respite support is negotiated through the Respite Support Agreement in consultation with the person with a disability and their families/carers and is flexible and tailored to meet individual needs. A range of respite options is possible such as; in home, host family respite, private allocation to arrange own support, peer support programs. Within the host program, if applicable, a consumer is carefully linked with a volunteer carer who receives a reimbursement to cover out of pocket expenses. Interchange also has a house that is available for self funded respite support and/or for families/carers to use. Staff/volunteer support can be brokered through Interchange. There is a 24 hour message bank for after hours calls.
