Southern Sydney Therapy Centre - Direct Service Program

About Southern Sydney Therapy Centre - Direct Service Program

The aim of the program is to provide people and their primary care givers with options for respite that will enhance their quality of life by providing an opportunity to spend time with a peer. Each eligible person is allocated an entitlement to be used at their discretion (eg. weekly, monthly or one off holiday options). The program is available to people with high support needs aged from 16 to 64 years of age. Users of the service are required to pay a contribution towards the cost of the care. Costs vary but may be as low $2 per hour for some respite.
