The Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centres (CRCC) are a good starting point when accessing services. There are a wide range of services to support independent living in the community and CRCC provides a point of contact for information on community, aged and disability services including carer support.
The CRCC can also assist with information about costs for services, assessment processes and eligibility criteria. Anyone can contact a Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre.
