Respite Connect
GP & Nurse Practitioner Respite Admission Service
Ensuring access to a clinician doesn’t hold up care.
Making respite admissions easier
Timely clinical support to help residents access respite when they need it.
Access to respite can be delayed when a GP or Nurse Practitioner isn’t available to complete the clinical admission.
Respite Connect provides dedicated GP and NP support for planned and urgent respite admissions, helping residential aged care facilities accept residents sooner and reducing the burden on families, carers and health services.
Our clinicians work with the resident, their family or carer and the aged care facility to complete the clinical requirements for admission and support a safe transition into respite care.
