Family respite support gives families and carers a short break
from caring, while support continues in a safe environment.
Respite can be planned or used when extra support is needed. It may be provided in your home, another home, or in the community.
We work with you and your family to make sure respite suits your needs and respects your routines and preferences.
'Support that fits your family'
Our Support
Kaya lives in Halls Creek, and her parents sometimes need a break from caring for her. We provide support workers who visit Kaya at home on the days her parents need, helping her with activities, meals, and social time. This gives her parents a chance to rest, while Kaya still gets the support she enjoys.

Need a Break?

Everyone needs a break from time to time to feel rested.
We have respite houses that people can stay in with a support worker (and sometimes family).
The NDIS call respite short term accommodation or STA. STA is usually a few days but can be longer (for up to 28 days a year) if your NDIS plan includes this.
You and your family can feel good knowing you’re getting the support you need to have a break, try new things and experience somewhere new.
