Careline provides 24 hour telephone information and support to carers, including urgent respite where the support is required today or in the next 24 hours.
Carers are usually family members or friends who provide support to someone living at home who has a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, dementia or who is frail aged.
Respite is a break from the caring role. Respite should be a positive, enjoyable experience for the person you care for as well as a rest for yourself.
