UNSW Evaluation Report
An evaluation of Respite Care for QBN was reported by A/Prof Connor, Dr Bergen and Dr McDermott from the UNSW School of Business. The reported concluded that the Yvonne Cuschieri House will offer significant overall cost savings to the NSW and Federal Governments, reduce carer burden and burnout, as well as alleviate social isolation – all key risks for carers.
The Yvonne Cuschieri House will fill a particular gap in service provision of respite for 18 to 60-year-olds for the Queanbeyan-Palerang region.
Construction Commenced
Thanks to the help of all financial and business supporters, and with approvals from government, construction of the Yvonne Cuschieri House has begun as of June 2024. To find out more about our supporters, please click here.
