    Please note that in addition to applications for respite funding, support workers are encouraged to consider submitting an application for Therapeutic Interventions on the young person’s behalf.

    What FRMP will not fund:

    • Emergency accommodation
    • Unsafe and inappropriate accommodation.

    Amount

    $400 per application.

    Two applications per financial year.

    Eligibility

    Refer to FRMP objectives and eligibility criteria.

    Please note, funds or vouchers to go directly to carers only.
