Uniting AgeWell Bendigo Respite Services

Bendigo Respite Services assist carers in taking regular breaks from their at times challenges circumstances. 

Carers do not need to be living with the person they are caring for to be eligible for the program.

Bendigo Respite Services are available to people living in the community who are:

• over the age of 65, or over 50 for Indigenous Australians
• living with dementia/memory loss or other age-related challenges
• assisted by a carer
