Need a well earned break

Respite for parents of children with special needs is one of our MOST common enquiries. There are many organisations that offer respite in Townsville however their criteria is often confusing – as well as their service not appropriate for younger children . We have tried to compile the information they offer and put it in ‘plain english’ for you. As well as making it easy to see what providers are not suitable for you at a glance – thus saving you time in calling them.

NB . Please keep in mind we have only put details for children UNDER 18. For adult services please contact one of the following service providers.
