What is NDIS Respite Care?

NDIS Respite Care is a funded support that provides a short-term break for participants and their primary carers. It’s designed to support the well-being of everyone involved by offering a change of routine in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. This can be provided in your own home, in the community, or in a specialist STA residence. It’s not just a service; it’s an opportunity for participants to enjoy new experiences and social connections, while carers get the essential rest they need to avoid burnout and provide better long-term support.

Suburbs Where Our NDIS Respite Care Services Are Available

Respite Care is the general term for temporary care that gives a break to a participant and their carer. Short Term Accommodation (STA) is the specific NDIS funding line item that includes respite care, often provided away from home in a dedicated setting, and covers accommodation, personal care, food, and activities.

The NDIS does not set a standard amount. The funding for respite (STA) in your plan is based on what is considered "reasonable and necessary" for your specific situation. This is assessed based on your needs and the needs of your primary carer to ensure their well-being and your continued support.

Yes. While STA often involves a stay away from home, respite support can also be provided in your own home. This is typically funded under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life, where a support worker takes over the caring role for a set period, allowing your primary carer to take a break.

Activities are always based on the participant's interests and goals! This can include community outings (cinema, cafes, parks), creative activities at home, skill-building, social visits, or simply enjoying companionship. We create a personalised plan with you.

We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially for popular periods like school holidays, to secure your preferred dates. However, we understand that emergencies happen, so please contact us to discuss last-minute availability.

Yes, you can use your Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life budget to pay for a support worker to provide care in your home, giving your informal carer a break. For a full STA experience including accommodation, you would use the allocated Short Term Accommodation funding in your Capacity Building budget.

We support participants with a wide range of needs. Our team includes support workers trained in complex care, including medication administration, PEG feeding, and continence care. We conduct a thorough assessment to ensure we can provide safe and appropriate support.




Our matching process is detailed and participant-focused. We consider personality, interests, communication styles, and specific support needs. We facilitate an introduction before the respite period begins to ensure everyone is comfortable and confident with the arrangement.

What Families Have to Say

Group 5

"My support worker, Sarah, has been an absolute lifesaver. She helps with my daily routine, from meal prep to getting to appointments on time, and even takes me on short walks to the park. Sarah is patient and really listens to what I need. I’m so grateful for the support she provides – I feel more confident knowing she’s there."

– Emily T, Brunswick, Melbourne

Group 5

"We hired a gardener from Beyond Health Services, and Jason has completely transformed our backyard. He removed the weeds, trimmed the hedges, and even installed a vegetable garden that my wife and I have been enjoying. The space looks so much better, and we couldn’t be happier with his attention to detail."

– Jason M, St Albans, Melbourne

Group 5

"The cleaning service from Beyond continues to impress us. Every corner of our home gets attention – they even scrubbed out stains from the carpets that we thought would never come out. I always look forward to coming home to a fresh, spotless house after their visit. Their reliability is what sets them apart."

– Sophia R, Sunshine West, Melbourne

Group 5

"I’m so grateful for Liam, the driver who takes my father to his medical appointments. Liam is always on time, helps my dad in and out of the car, and even waits with him at the doctor’s office. It’s reassuring to know my dad is in such capable hands when I can’t be there myself."

– Adam G, Windsor, Melbourne

Group 5

"These guys sent over a fantastic speech therapist to help my son with his communication challenges. Kate was incredibly patient, using fun and interactive techniques to get him to open up. In just a few weeks, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in his speech, and he’s more confident in expressing himself. We’re so thankful for Kate’s expertise and warmth."

– Sarah W, Werribee, Melbourne
