Welcome to Community Living and Respite Services Inc

New Programs!

A new respite program for people over 18 years comences April 26, 2012.  This is one of the programs funded by the DHS Innovative Respite Initiative and includes 2 afternoons per week of respite for adults.  More information is available by contacting Suellen Betts.  Funding was also received to assist with the provision of the Club Teen program for children 6 - 18 years.  CLRS will also provide transport 1 day per week during school holidays so that children from Kyabram can attend Club Teen.

The 6th Annual Fundraising Dinner was held on February 28, 2012 and raised an amazing $52,000.  Thank you to our generous sponsors and supporters.  

Funds raised will assist our Minor Street Accommodation Development.  The  block has recently been cleared, and CLRS has now engaged an architect for the design phase.  If you would like to donate to this program, you can do this via the "Make a Donation" icon on this webpage.
