Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is respite care and how does it support primary caregivers?

Respite care is a temporary support service that allows primary caregivers to take a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive safe, high-quality care. It helps reduce physical and emotional burnout, supports overall wellbeing, and gives caregivers time to rest, manage personal responsibilities, or recharge. At the same time, participants benefit from a change of environment, structured support, and opportunities to build independence and social confidence.

2. What types of respite care does Caring Humanity offer (STA, in-home, centre-based)?

Caring Humanity offers flexible respite options tailored to individual needs, including in-home respite where support is provided in the participant’s own environment, and Short-Term Accommodation (STA), which involves a temporary stay away from home with 24/7 care and structured activities. Depending on availability and individual goals, centre-based or community-based respite options may also be provided, allowing participants to engage in social and skill-building activities in a supportive setting.

3. Can I access respite services without NDIS funding (aged care, private, insurance)?

Yes, respite care can still be accessed without NDIS funding through private payment options, aged care programs, or certain insurance schemes, depending on eligibility. Caring Humanity aims to be flexible and inclusive, so individuals and families are encouraged to reach out to discuss their situation, explore available funding pathways, and find a suitable care arrangement that meets their needs.

4. How often can I book respite care – weekly, weekends, or school holidays?

Respite care can be arranged as frequently as needed, depending on your NDIS plan, personal circumstances, and availability. This may include regular weekly support, occasional weekend breaks, or extended stays during school holidays. Caring Humanity works closely with participants and families to create a schedule that provides consistent support while also offering flexibility when needs change.

5. What is the difference between in-home respite and short-term accommodation (STA)?

In-home respite takes place in the participant’s own home, where a support worker steps in to provide care while maintaining familiar routines and surroundings. In contrast, Short-Term Accommodation (STA) involves staying in a supported environment away from home, where participants receive 24/7 care along with opportunities for social interaction, new experiences, and skill development. Both options are designed to support participants while giving caregivers time to rest, but they differ in setting and level of immersion.

6. Where in my NDIS plan do I find funding for respite (Short-Term Accommodation)?

Funding for respite care, particularly Short-Term Accommodation (STA), is usually included under the Core Supports budget in an NDIS plan, often within the “Assistance with Daily Life” category. The exact allocation can vary depending on individual plans, so it’s important to review your funding details or speak with a support coordinator or provider like Caring Humanity to understand how your respite supports can be used effectively.

7. Does Caring Humanity provide respite care in Canberra as well as Melbourne?

Caring Humanity primarily delivers services in Canberra and surrounding regions, where their core operations are based. Availability in other locations such as Melbourne may depend on service capacity and individual circumstances, so it’s best to contact the team directly to confirm current service areas and explore available options.

8. What is LSI (Life Skills Independence) and how is it built into respite care?

LSI, or Life Skills Independence, refers to the development of practical everyday skills that help participants live more independently and confidently. At Caring Humanity, respite care is not just about short-term support, but also about building these skills through activities such as cooking, personal organisation, communication, and community participation. By embedding LSI into respite stays, participants gain meaningful experiences that contribute to long-term independence and personal growth.
