Respite Through Recreation

GIFSA delivers a flexible out-of-home respite through recreation service providing respite and recreation support opportunities for individuals with a disability who reside with their families or carers.

Respite provides supports to Carers and allows them to have a break from this role. It is provided through a wide range of activities / services / supports offered to and engaged in by people with disabilities and their families.

Respite should also provide a positive experience for the person with a disability. Support may be formal or informal – direct or indirect and may be provided in the home or out of the home. The source of primary care remains with the family / community.

Please contact our office on 9072 1726 or email at esp.po@gifsa.org for more information about this service.
