What is Respite Care?
NDIS provides temporary support including daily living assistance, personal care, meals and community engagement. This allows carers like yourself to take a break while participants get to experience new opportunities and environments.

Services can be in your own home, at a dedicated respite facility (also known as short term accommodation or STA), or in a community setting.
