RICKY Stuart and Disability Minister Joy Burch have agreed to partner to build a second respite centre specifically for teenagers with autism and other disabilities.
“We are already well underway to deliver a fabulous new respite centre in partnership with the ACT Government; this second budget allocation will give us momentum to provide even more special facilities”, Stuart said.
The foundation, in partnership with the ACT Government and Marymead, is already constructing a world-class respite centre for children aged 6 to 12 who have autism or other disabilities. This centre, to be named “Ricky Stuart House”, is located in Chifley.
