Centre-Based Respite Care Feasibility Report
The ACT Government committed $250,000 in the 2010-11 ACT Budget to undertake a feasibility study to determine the best design for centre-based respite services currently delivered from sites in Kaleen, Charnwood, Hughes and Narrabundah. The study was commissioned because we want a flexible and contemporary model of respite that is client focussed, that meets the expectations of people with a disability, families and carers.
