Respite Care

What is Respite Care?

NDIS respite care is a support service that provides participants with short-term care in a safe, supportive environment while giving families and carers time to rest and recharge. Support may include supervision, daily living assistance, social and recreational activities, and help with routines, all delivered in a calm and welcoming setting.

This service is tailored to individual needs and NDIS goals, with a focus on wellbeing, comfort, and continuity of care. Respite care can be provided on a planned or short-notice basis and is funded under the NDIS Core Supports budget to support both participants and their carers while maintaining stability and quality of life.

The Care Includes:

Each respite package is available with 1:1 or 2:2 support, ensuring the level of care is tailored to individual needs, preferences, and goals. Whether participants are seeking relaxation, adventure, nature-based experiences, or social connection, our team works closely with each participant to create a safe, enjoyable, and supportive experience.

Dates and times are flexible and will be organised in collaboration with the participant and/or their guardian, allowing for a person-centred approach that suits individual schedules and support requirements.

Our respite locations have been thoughtfully selected to offer a variety of experiences, including nature retreats, wildlife encounters, creative and recreational activities, and opportunities for rest and reflection. All packages are designed to promote choice, comfort, and positive outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on safety and wellbeing.
