Emergency Care

Interchange Illawarra is not an after-hours emergency care service. In cases of emergency contact the Illawarra Commonwealth Carer Respite Centre or Emergency Care Service and inform them of your emergency care requirements.

Approval may be given to organise emergency care with your Interchange Illawarra volunteer/support worker if they are available. If not, these services will organise support for you.
