Family Relief funding can be used to pay for approved respite options such as; services of screened respite providers, residential respite, registered camps, community recreational programs, memberships and lessons.
Family Relief Funding only reimburses services for the person being supported and cannot reimburse services for the whole family. The funding is for activities outside of school and work hours, and cannot be used as daycare expenses while families are at work.
Family Relief funding is allocated to provide respite to parents/guardians and create greater opportunities for those supported to live actively and participate in community activities.
