1:1 Independent Respite Contractors

Independent Respite Contractors are experienced and caring individuals that provide support within the home or in the community.

Independent Respite Contractors must meet the following requirements:

• Attend an interview
• Provide references
• Complete a Vulnerable Sector Check
• Possess a valid licence and 2 million liability insurance
• Complete the IRC package which includes the Privacy and Confidentiality statement
