A few hours
Short breaks during the day so you can rest, run errands or simply have some time for yourself.
Respite care
A well-earned break, in safe hands
Caring for someone you love is rewarding, and it is also hard work. Respite care is a compassionate interlude: time to rest and recharge, knowing your loved one is supported by people who genuinely care.
We offer respite across the Northern Territory and South Australia, from a few hours to overnight and longer stays.

Respite questions, answered
Respite care gives family carers a break, while your loved one is supported by our experienced team. It can be a few hours, a day, an overnight stay or a longer period, in your home or in a welcoming short-term setting. The goal is rest and rejuvenation for the carer, and a positive experience for the person being supported.
Respite is often funded through the NDIS as short-term accommodation and assistance, or as core support in your plan. The exact funding depends on your goals and assessed needs. If you are unsure what your plan covers, get in touch and we will help you make sense of it.
We will always do our best to help, including at short notice, but planning ahead means we can match your loved one with workers who suit them. For regular or ongoing respite, we can set up a routine that gives you dependable breaks you can count on.
