Respite Care
A real break, both ways. Carers get to recharge; participants get something worth looking forward to, not a holding pattern.
Who it's for
For families and carers who are running on empty (or would like to stop before they get there), and for participants who deserve their time away to be actually enjoyable.
What it can look like
Planned ahead or arranged when life throws a curveball. For example:
In-home respiteCommunity-based days outSchool holiday supportRegular scheduled breaksShort-notice cover when we canEvening and weekend options
How it works with your plan
Typically funded through your Core budget, including short term accommodation supports where respite is planned into your plan.
Core · Short Term AccommodationEvery plan is different. Bring yours (or don't, we can help you read it) and we'll show you exactly what's possible.
Our take
Respite is only a break if you trust the people providing it. Consistent workers, proper handovers and honest communication are the whole game.
