Overnight and day respite

The Waratah Respite Centre is designed to assist people who are frail aged and adults with a disability. It is a place where people are able to enjoy social contact and recreational activities so that they are able to maintain skills and remain independent.

Overnight Respite

The Maureen Guthrie Cottage is an extension of service, which provides overnight respite for people who are frail aged and with disabilities. The cottage building is attached to the Waratah Respite Centre and overnight clients, if they wish, may participate in day and/or evening activities. It is hostel level care accommodation. To access this service, clients must be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team. Once assessment has been attended then the client may have up to 63 days of overnight respite per year.

The Department of Health and Aged Care sets cost for this service. Staff will happily inform you of this cost on inquiry.
