Bribie Respite and Support Services Incorporated, located at Woorim, is a wonderful not-for-profit organisation that offers Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) support services. We aim to provide entry-level support services to aging individuals, including those with Dementia Specific needs in Bribie Island and the surrounding community. If you’d like to access our services through CHSP funding or your Home Care Package, all you need to do is register with My Aged Care, a government program created to help you navigate the aged care system and access the support you need.
At Bribie Respite and Support Services Incorporated, we understand the desire to maintain independence and live in one’s own home for as long as possible. Our centre-based Social Support Group in Woorim is designed to support this goal, providing a safe and supportive environment for all participants. More than just a place for activities, it’s an opportunity for both men and women to make new social connections within their local community, enhancing their quality of life.
Our dedicated Support Workers curate a diverse range of daily activities for our guests, ensuring there’s something for everyone. From gentle exercise and music therapy to arts and crafts, a men’s group (complete with a monthly Birthday BBQ), and many other engaging activities, there’s always something fun and stimulating happening at our centre. Plus, our transportation services ensure everyone starts and finishes the day with a smile. When you attend our Social Support Group, you can enjoy morning and afternoon tea as part of CHSP. We can also provide a freshly prepared and cooked lunch, which may include soup, a sandwich, dessert, or a hot meal.
We also offer other support services such as:
- flexible respite
- in-home social support
- personal care
We’ve been providing day respite services since 1987, and in 2017, we changed our name to Bribie Respite and Support Services Incorporated. You may have met us at the recent Longman Seniors Expo and have further enquiries; we’d love to help you; feel free to get in touch.
