Our Philosophy:

Burnett Respite Services Inc. accept as true that:

  • the service will provide a lifestyle as near as possible to the day-to-day living environment of the service user, with respect to their, and their carer's desires;
  • as far as possible, normal routine in relation to education, vocational and recreational pursuits and therapy sessions will be continued;
  • the rights of the service user in relation to privacy and confidentiality, and a voice in decision-making will be respected;
  • participation in the local community through physical and social integration will be encouraged in order that opportunities are provided for service users to reach goals appropriate to their age, needs and desires;
  • the service user and his/her advocate shall have a say in the management of the service, and an appropriate avenue for the airing and resolution of grievances shall be provided; and
  • the community has the right to accountable and responsive services.
  • this service will always advocate for a person with a disability regardless of the potential consequences for the organisation.
