To care effectively for others, there are times when you may need a little help and support of your own.

We are here to support you in caring for your loved ones
Caring for someone who is older or frail is both a loving and demanding commitment.

OneCare offers a choice of respite care that enables you to refresh, so you can continue the essential job of looking after those who are important to you.

Types of respite
OneCare offers respite care across all our homes on a planned or emergency basis, enabling your loved one to receive the best possible care in a safe and supported environment.

Who this service is for

You may be eligible for respite care if you are an older person with a carer and:

• your carer is unable to care for you for some reason, or
• you or your carer need a break from your usual care arrangements.

How do you get assessed for these services?

You must meet certain requirements to be eligible for an aged care assessment.  This is done through My Aged Care.

If you meet the requirements, you can apply for an assessment straight away.

If your application is successful, you will be referred for an assessment. An assessor will arrange to meet you in person, usually at your own home.

Cost

The Australian Government subsidises short-term care providers directly to make care more affordable. You are expected to contribute to the cost of your care if you can afford to do so. How much you may pay varies depending on the type and level of care and services you will receive.
