Respite is available to all our clients, as described by the NDIS: Short term accommodation and assistance with self-care.
Respite is a term used often when referring to taking relief. It’s used regularly through disability schemes that allow carers and/or families to take a break from the usual everyday activities of a carer. NDIS offers many different government-funded programs that are available to support carers, and eligible NDIS participants may use funding in their plan to facilitate the respite. NDIS Respite Care supports participants and their carers by giving carers short breaks from their caring responsibilities. For carers, taking some time off can help them better manage their own health and improve their wellbeing and working ability.
