Profile—North Metropolitan area
Area profile for comment
January 2013
It is important to note Commonwealth Respite and Care Link can provide families with
information about organisations that provide respite in their area and can also fund shortterm
or one-off respite through Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing funding.
This information only reflects Commission-funded flexible services. Some people manage
their family support funding (flexible respite) allocation, directly through LAC.
