Our Homebased service provides respite care to children aged 0 – 17 years.  To provide this service coast wide we require dedicated and caring people to open their homes to provide a nurturing, caring and supportive home environment.

We have a vigorous screening process and offer full support and training.  For more information please see our Respite care page.

Volunteers

We are always looking for volunteers who want to give back to a community organisation.  We have a relatively easy screening process for our volunteers.  Some of the tasks we might ask of our volunteers are gardening, keeping our premises tidy, sitting on a raffle table,  helping with catering needs and helping with other projects such as Children’s day, Earthworks of Creations Wearable Arts, White Ribbon Day or the Christmas Parade for example.
