One Mile Minjerriba Respite Centre

One Mile Minjerriba Respite Centre in Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerriba) provides community respite and day programme services for older adults and carers on the island, offering a vital support service for the ageing population of this island community 30 minutes by ferry from Cleveland. The centre delivers structured day activities, carer respite, and social support to older adults on Stradbroke Island, reducing the isolation that island living can bring and supporting carers with regular respite breaks. The centre is an essential piece of aged care infrastructure for the Quandamooka people and other long-term Straddie residents who wish to age in place on the island rather than relocate to the mainland.
