You must not have gifted more than $10,000 in the last year or $30,000 in the last five years,
You must have had your income assessed in accordance with the Aged Care Act 1997.

Respite assistance can provide you, your family or carer with a short break by providing you with additional support and relief. Planned or unplanned, we can help support you on a one-off basis, regular weekly breaks, short holidays or emergencies. We all need a break sometimes; it is important for your family and carers to take care of their health so that they can continue to support you.
