At We Empower Disability, we understand the dedication, compassion, and strength it takes to support a loved one living with a disability. But we also recognize that caregivers need care too. That’s where our NDIS Respite Care services come in—to provide short-term relief for carers while ensuring the individual with a disability receives quality, compassionate support.
Whether it’s for a few hours, a weekend, or several days, our NDIS-funded respite care solutions are tailored to meet your needs, restore balance, and promote well-being for both the participant and their caregivers.
Respite care, also known under the NDIS as Short-Term Accommodation (STA), is a temporary care arrangement that offers a safe and supportive environment for people with disabilities when their regular carer is unavailable or simply needs a break.
Respite care is not just about taking a pause—it’s about maintaining healthy relationships, improving participant independence, and preventing carer burnout.
Under the NDIS, respite care can include:
Overnight stays in supported accommodation
Weekend getaways for participants
In-home respite with trained carers
Access to community and recreational activities
Emergency or unplanned care arrangements
Caring for someone is an around-the-clock commitment. Even the most devoted caregivers need time to rest, recharge, or attend to personal matters. Respite care:
Prevents physical and emotional exhaustion
Supports mental health for carers and participants
Encourages independence and skill-building in participants
Provides a safe and stimulating environment with trained professionals
At We Empower Disability, our respite care services are delivered with empathy, professionalism, and a deep commitment to enhancing lives.
