Caring for an older loved one is rewarding and important, but everyone needs a break sometimes. Flexible respite, part of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), gives carers help so they can rest, recharge, or get things done knowing their loved one is safe and supported by caring, friendly and capable help at home or in the community.
Our Intake Team is often the first point of contact for older community members engaging with CRCS, and they play a vital role in shaping positive, supportive experiences from the very beginning. The team helps participants understand and access the wide range of care, activities and services available through our CRCS Living Well programs.
Have you ever felt like decisions were being made about you, without anyone actually asking you? You’re not alone — and that’s something we want to change.
Connect Up 2617 (now simply Connect Up) began as a 12-month research pilot led by the University of Canberra’s Health Research Institute, supporting 18–30 year olds in Belconnen to build meaningful social connections.
