A $20 million State Government funding package designed to provide respite care for people living with dementia should help families across the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Two of the seven community organisations which will share the funding provide services in the local region.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Senior Citizens Welfare Association Inc – better known as SBcare – will receive $1 million to provide respite services in Kingaroy, Nanango Yarraman and Wondai.<\/p>\n

And Centacare Community Services will receive $5.2 million to provide services in Kingaroy, Gympie, Hervey Bay and Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The funding will be split across three years to allow the organisations to extend respite hours and deliver tailored care and activities.<\/p>\n

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the funding on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRespite care is an essential part of caring for people with dementia,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt offers the carer a well-deserved break from their caring responsibilities while providing valuable and meaningful activities for the person receiving care.”<\/p>\n

Health Minister Cameron Dick said the seven funded organisations specialised in respite care and could tailor the respite to the needs of both the client and their carer.<\/p>\n

He said there could be up to 75,650 Queenslanders living with dementia by 2019.<\/p>\n

It is also estimated that there could be up to 104,000 new cases of dementia in Queensland over the next four years.<\/p>\n

The other organisations to be funded are Alzheimer\u2019s Association of Queensland,\u00a0 Anglicare Southern Queensland, CURA Community Services,\u00a0 Ozcare and St John\u2019s Community Care Limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
