East Arnhem Carer Respite Centre (East Arnhem region)

East Arnhem Carer Respite Centre

The East Arnhem Carer Respite Centre provides a flexible and innovative respite service that responds to the individual needs of Carers in the whole of East Arnhem, including Groote Eylandt. The Centre aims to support and maintain the quality of life of carers and those for whom they care for.

Target group: Carers of aged/frail people and Carers of children and adults with a Disability (including Mental Illness).
Residential Respite is provided in the Respite room at the Gove Hospital, in Aged Care facilities in Darwin, at Aboriginal Hostels or by using the Anglicare Respite flat in Nhulunbuy.
Community Respite is provided by direct support from support workers (as in the town of Nhulunbuy and the close-by communities of Yirrkala and Ski Beach),
A Mobile Outreach Service provides community based respite to remote communities in East Arnhem during the Dry Season.
The Centre can provide other forms of respite depending on the needs of the individual carers. E.g. the Centre can assist a family member with transport and food to be able to support a carer in the community.

Office hours: Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm
