MIFSA Respite House

MIFSA’s Residential Respite Accommodation Program includes a respite house located in Seaview Downs.

Respite House Programs operate from Monday to Friday and include structured and themed activities such as day outings, recreation activities and living skills workshops. All programs are delivered by Respite Workers who understand mental health problems and who work together with participants at their own pace to provide individualised support with a focus on recovery.

MIFSA’s respite house has a large common area to cook and share meals, watch TV or play games in the evenings, 7 bedrooms with each guest receiving their own private lockable rooms and a separate, individual courtyard area. The house includes four toilet and shower facilities and two rooms for staff quarters. It is ideally located within walking distance of Marion Shopping Centre, the beach and community amenities. Many who have stayed at the house describe the atmosphere as very welcoming for all participants
