Search For Services

View our Respite Finder

Information on respite services is being updated regularly.  To find disability respite services, view the Respite Finder. 

Please 'contact us' if you would like assistance in finding a suitable respite service.

Respite Finder is a directory that helps families and carers to locate potential providers of respite that suits the family and the service user.

Service Providers might search Respite Finder on behalf of families without internet access or limited computer skills. 

Respite Finder allows you to:

• Search by postcode, your local government region, other regions or all of Victoria
• Select the age group of the service users with a disability
• Select the type of respite or activity the service user with a disability is interested in
• Print results
• Locate the contact details for the chosen respite.

Do you know of a respite program that isn't listed here?

Please let us know by selecting the 'Contact Us' tab.

Why Respite Finder?

Respite Finder is the 'Search for Services' function that will be used by all the sites linked to the DHS Central Respite Victorian website. www.respitevictoria.org.au

This has an aim to provide a consistent approach across Victoria, allowing service users and their families/carers up to date information about Disability Respite.

We acknowledge that there are other search functions that service providers might use. For the purpose of this project it was determined that Respite Finder was the preferred 'Search for Services' function for service users.

Other commonly used search tools are listed in the 'Useful Links' page.
