Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 9 pm. Carers are asked to contact the Staff the day before if possible to book flexible respite.We provide flexible day respite for emergencies and working carers. Long Day respite is available Monday to Friday until 5pm. This is focused on the needs of working carers. Saturday Respite is available from 10.00am to 3.00pm. 1. Day Care is funded by the Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) 2. National Respite for Carers Program (NRCP) (an Australian Government initiative). A contribution is requested to cover expenses. The current contribution is $10 which covers transport, meals, and activities. No person is denied a service if they are unable to contribute. Day care is organised around a series of social activities. Various activities include music, yoga, exercises, guest artists, bowling, board games and bus outings. These are organised each day by staff who also consult with residents and day clients to achieve maximum participation and satisfaction. Everyone is invited to join in as they wish. Our team of both permanent and volunteer staff provide gentle and generous assistance to those who need it so all are able to participate. How can you access this service? You do not need a referral for the day respite service. Contact the Waratah Centre to arrange a visit and fill in the required health and contact information. We'll discuss your needs and you'll decide how many days you wish to access the day service each week. It is our policy that all persons have equal access to respite care, taking into account your individual or special needs, your culture and your geographic location. The Waratah Centre aims to provide these services in a caring and secure manner with a view to maintaining optimum independence and individuality. Annual Waratah Christmas Party
