Caring for someone you love is rewarding—but without regular breaks, it can be physically and emotionally draining. Respite care gives carers the chance to rest, recharge, and return refreshed.
Why Self-Care Matters for Carers
Across Australia, millions of people provide unpaid care for partners, family members, or friends who are elderly or living with a disability. According to the ABS, there were 2.7 million unpaid carers in 2015—856,100 of whom were primary carers. These individuals often prioritise the needs of others, putting their own health at risk.
Carers are 40% more likely to develop chronic health conditions and frequently suffer from sleep disruptions and stress-related fatigue (Carers Victoria). Respite care offers a practical solution by giving carers regular breaks to restore their own well-being.
How In-Home Respite Care Supports You
At Just Better Care, we provide flexible in-home respite services to support both carers and the people they care for. Whether you need a few hours a week or a longer break throughout the year, our professional team is here to help.
