Summary

Residential respite is an essential element of aged care as it allows older Australians to stay in their own homes longer, relieving pressure from their carers and ensuring that transitions to residential care only occur when absolutely necessary. However, in recent years, reports from carers having difficulty in finding residential respite care have increased. This study investigates the availability of residential respite around Australia, difficulties in accessing residential respite, and suggests possible improvements to ease these shortages.
