Our Process


The SCOPZE Respite Activity Service is dependent on donations and funding from those attending the service. Referrals are made to the Scopze Supervisor by DRC staff from the Turning Point division. If referral comes from the public, funding for providing this service would need to be discussed. The Scopze Supervisor will meet with the person who requires the service, and their support person if relevant. A suitable individualised programme will be developed should the person wish to access the service.
