Respite Services

NDIS Respite Services provide planned, temporary support to give both participants and their carers a break from regular routines while ensuring safety, care, and engagement. Funded mainly as Short Term Accommodation (STA) or in-home respite under Core Supports, these services maintain continuity of daily living assistance, personal care, and activities during planned or emergency breaks, helping prevent carer burnout and supporting participant wellbeing and skill development.
