NDIS Respite
Our NDIS Respite services provide a home away from home, giving the participant’s carers a short break from their caring role and allowing them to take a short break from the daily routine and use NDIS funding. This enables NDIS participants to enhance their independence, learn new skills, try new things, and make new friends
When your usual support network isn’t available for either 12 hours, 24 hours, a weekend, or to use in a block of up to 14 days at a time, all our short term accomodation NDIS programs cover the cost of the participant’s transport, comfortable accommodation, incidentals such as meals and drinks, stimulating activities, and, most importantly, the NDIS participant’s care and support while away from home.
