Multicultural Respite Services (MRS)
What is the MRS?
The Multicultural Respite Service (MRS) is a respite and social support service that caters to individuals with mild to severe disabilities. The MRS program is a mobile community access program that promotes social interaction and personal development by providing participants with the opportunity to engage in social and recreational activities within the local community under the supervision and care of our dedicated Respite Workers.
Our aims:
- The MRS program aims to provide respite to carers so that they may have a break from their caring responsibilities.
- The MRS program also aims to provide a respite service that is beneficial to the individual participants by promoting social interaction and personal development through group social and recreational activities within the local community.
- In addition, the MRS program aims to further enhance the quality of the service provided by ensuring that the service is sensitive and responsive to the individual needs of our participants.
The target group
Unlike many mainstream respite and social support services, the MRS program aims to cater for the needs of people from Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds by providing respite that is suitable to the specific cultural and linguistic needs of our participants and their primary carers/families.
