Summary

This paper is the result of in-depth research, consultation and analysis undertaken by the Carer Respite Alliance (CRA), a working group established by Carers NSW in 2017 in response to increasing reports of concern among carers in NSW regarding the supply and quality of respite services. Services offering carers a break have been framed and treated differently within the various care services sectors in Australia over time. This paper demonstrates that services providing breaks from the caring role are needed and valuable, but will remain difficult to access without improved integration between service systems and a reconceptualisation of how carer breaks are provided and funded in NSW.
