CROSB has experienced a steady rate of growth with many new families moving to the area and more people becoming aware of the services offered through CTC.
Over the past year, CROSB has provided 14,928 hours of support to 104 clients. Services are provided via in-home respite, CROSB House, community access, and support group activities.
Services are provided throughout the whole of the South Burnett including Blackbutt, Goomeri, Tansey and Proston. CROSB currently has a waiting list of 32 clients.
CROSB continues to provide a flexible and responsive respite service to people of the South Burnett through recurrent annual funding from Department of Communities (Disability Services) and is fast becoming a service of choice for individually funded clients and brokerage services alike. It continues to receive an increasing number of requests for services from individuals and referrals from organisations such as CCRC, Centacare and the South Burnett Senior Citizens Association.
CROSB continues to apply for funding to provide for the unmet demand and has recently been granted additional recurrent funding from the Department of Communities (Disability Services) to provide In-Home Accommodation Services. This funding will allow us to assist individuals to live independently in their own homes and to provide respite to families with school-age children during the January school holidays.
Funding for respite is provided through Disability Services Queensland (DSQ) and other funding bodies on occasion. Services can also be purchased privately. In addition a small daily fee is charged to assist with the cost of meals and to ensure we can continue to provide an on-going quality service.
The CROSB Advisory Committee meets regularly to support the ongoing development of the service. New Membership is encouraged.
