Supporting carers to relax and recharge

Taking a break from a carer’s role can help you restore your energy, reduce stress and keep your life in balance.

Our aim is to ensure you feel relaxed and stress-free while taking a break from your carer’s role.

NDIS has several recognised services that can be used to support your Respite needs, talk to our experienced Customer Care Managers who can help design and plan for you.

There are three levels of respite-like supports available for funding as part of plans:

Level 1: 7 to 14 days per year to supporting Carer’s attend personal appointments or regular activities.
Level 2: 14 to 28 days per year offers the same level of Carer support and includes a supported strategy to build skills and capabilities for future independence.
Level 3: Equivalent of 28 days per year, This is provided to more vulnerable Carer’s, who are the primary day to day support, these Carers are offered more due to the complexity of care offered on a daily basis to ensure the best chance of recharging.
