The Department of Health and Ageing, yesterday, formally announced the extention of Demonstration Day Respite pilot programs for a further 12 months to 30 June 2012.
Providers in Victoria supported by the ACCV had expressed their concerns to the Department regarding the imminent end date of these projects - with no news as to whether the funding would be continued. For many carers using this form of respite - the only alternative would have been permanant residential care.
The text of the letter sent to pilot programs is below.
