(1) Rocky Bay has not had a Country Respite Program. There have been occasions where people from the country have accessed respite through Rocky Bay's facilities in the metropolitan area.
(2) Respite programs for adults who have a disability are provided by a number of non-government organisations throughout country regions, including Anglicare, Perth Home Care Services and a network of Family Support Associations throughout regional areas.
(3) Service providers in country areas provide a range of flexible respite options, which include in-home respite.  Local Area Coordinators can assist families to access the various respite options.
