The basics: a bed, meals, and support staff available 24/7. The extras: community outings, transport to appointments, assistance with personal care, and activities based on interests. We follow the NDIS short-term accommodation price guide, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting
Pretty much! While most folks come through NDIS funding, our disability respite services Melbourne-wide are available through aged care packages, insurance funding, or private payment. Caregivers of all kinds can benefit – you don’t need to be at the breaking point to deserve a break.
It depends on your situation and funding. Some families book a regular weekly slot, like every Tuesday afternoon. Others prefer occasional weekends or longer blocks during school holidays. We can help you work out what pattern might suit your energy levels and commitments.
In-home respite keeps everything familiar but doesn’t always give carers a proper mental break. NDIS short-term accommodation providers offer a complete change of scene. Many families mix and match depending on what they need that week.
Look for “Core Supports” in your plan, specifically the “Assistance with Daily Life” category. That’s where Short-Term Accommodation funding lives. Don’t see it? Give us a call anyway—we’ve got tricks for making other funding categories work for disability respite services.
You bet! Our respite care Canberra team covers the ACT region with both in-home options and centre-based services. We connect with local community spots and can incorporate favourite activities into respite time.
LSI (Life Skills Independence) means respite isn’t just babysitting. We look for natural opportunities to build skills during respite time – whether cooking together, practising public transport use, or creating social confidence. Your break becomes a productive time for your loved one, too.
