Our Response: Rising Fuel Costs

At Rural Lifestyle Options Australia, we are committed to keeping our clients, families and community informed. Due to the ongoing rise in fuel costs across our service areas, we are making some temporary adjustments to ensure we can continue delivering reliable, high-quality supports.

What this means for you

Your essential supports will always remain our priority.

Some community-based activities may be adjusted where needed to ensure services remain sustainable and consistent.

How we are responding

Where possible, we are implementing practical changes to minimise disruption, including:

• Increasing in-home supports where appropriate

• Adjusting times or staffing arrangements

• Prioritising local staff to reduce travel impacts

Our commitment to you

Your safety, wellbeing and continuity of support remain our highest priority.

You can expect:

• Clear communication if any changes affect your supports

• Continued focus on your individual needs, goals and preferences

• Support to explore alternative activities or arrangements where required

We also want to reassure you that we are actively supporting our staff through the impact of rising fuel costs. While Rural Lifestyle Options Australia has not received additional government funding for this, we are committed to looking after our team so they can continue delivering the high-quality, consistent support you rely on. We will continue to work closely with you to ensure your supports remain stable and responsive to your needs.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your supports, please contact our team on 1300 032 175.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
