Short term accommodation is now called short term respite.

We spoke with participants, families and carers about this change. Most told us that short term respite better reflects the value of informal supports and the importance of sustaining these relationships.

We know some people have concerns about the word ‘respite’, but many carers and families use and understand it well. After considering all the feedback, we chose this name because it’s clear and widely recognised.

Short term respite gives you time away from your usual care arrangements, while your primary informal supports take a short break.

We’ve updated Our Guideline to make it easier for you to understand and use. It explains:

✅ who can use short term respite

✅ what it includes

✅ how it works

✅ where it can be used.

: Tasmania Police have launched a series of planned patrols and safety operations across Glenorchy, Moonah and Claremont today following widespread social media warnings of potential youth riots.

The significant police presence comes after viral social media posts claimed up to 200 young people were planning to "run through shopping centres and assault people and ransack shops" in the area.

One widely-shared Facebook post urged residents to avoid Northgate shopping centre and surrounding areas, claiming "the riot squad will be on call but this will not guarantee your safety."

Police confirmed the increased presence is designed to maintain public safety, encouraging people to report incidents via 131 444 or Triple-Zero for emergencies.

"Police are committed to making sure our public spaces are safe for everyone to enjoy, and antisocial and illegal behaviour in our communities will not be tolerated," a police spokesperson said.

It is understood police have been contacting managers at stores within the Northgate shopping centre, urging them to have their shutters "ready to deploy" in case of a large-scale incident.
