What Is Respite Care?

A STA is available with support services from accredited NDIS respite services providers. Respite services are generally funded for up to 14 days at a time. It is often given as a break to unpaid or informal caretakers of participants and encourages independent living for NDIS participants with more productive surroundings.

What are the types of respite services?

Formal Respite Care Services:

A range of formal respite care services are available including:

• In-home Respite: A caregiver visits your place to provide assistance from time to time, in a week. It can include morning hours, specified hours or overnight support. The support worker can look after a NDIS participant at their home or can take him/her out for a walk or a particular activity.
• Centre-based Respite: This is when the participant visits a centre to attend a group activity for certain hours. There are usually activities and events at these centres to help participants expand their capabilities.
• Community Access Respite: This kind of respite helps the participant in getting engaged in various activities that can encourage them to cultivate independent living and enhance their social skills. This could be an organisation, a community centre or a support worker who might accompany the participant’s family, to assistance in various activities.

Informal Respite Care:

If you are looking for informal respite care for yourself to avoid involving strangers in tasks, here are some options you could explore:

• Family and Friends: Any family member or a trusted friend can look after the participant when unpaid caretakers are not available or if there is a need for a break.
• After-school and Vacation Care: These services offer leisure and comprehensive recreation for school–age children. They are usually offered by most schools or similar organisations.
• Recreational Activities: Fun and recreational activities allow participants to engage in fruitful interactions while parents and caretakers have a break and engage with others in a similar situation.
• Camps: Many organisations and government-funded institutions organise camps for individuals with disability for a refreshing experience. These camps have access to support services and workers for various types of assistance.
