Caring for someone can be complicated
Managing their medical, physical and emotional needs can take a toll on both of you.
At HammondCare, we do complicated.
You don't have to do it alone. Whether it's for a few hours or a few days, we offer personalised respite care at home, in one of our Cottages or at our Social Clubs.
Our experienced team supports people who are living with dementia, receiving palliative care or need clinical support.
Not sure what to do next? We do, and we're ready to help.
How do I start respite care?
Government-funded respite care is available for carers who support an older person and/or a person living with dementia. But the type of support given depends on the level of care needed.
To get started, you'll need to complete an eligibility check and a free assessment. If approved, respite care may be provided through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme or included in your Support at Home package.
For more information, call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or

The right support for you...
We take time to understand your needs - and those of your regular carer - so we can tailor the right approach, even when unexpected circumstances arise. As leaders in complex dementia care, our specialist team can provide extra support for people living with dementia.
..and for your carer
Caring for older people, including those living with dementia, is rewarding but can be challenging. If you’re a carer and need emotional support, please call our pastoral care team on 1800 826 166. For other types of support, call the Government's Carer Gateway between 8am and 5pm on 1800 422 737.
