Respite Care

Respite care is a valuable service under the NDIS that provides temporary relief for primary caregivers while ensuring that participants with disabilities continue to receive the care and support they need. Here’s a detailed breakdown of Respite Care under NDIS

 

Purpose of Respite Care

  • To give caregivers (family members, friends, or professionals) a break from their regular responsibilities, helping to prevent burnout.
  • It ensures that participants continue to receive the care they need while the regular caregiver takes time for themselves, whether for rest, work, or other activities.
  • In-home Respite
  • Centre-based Respite
  • Community-based Respite
  • Overnight or Weekend Respite
  • Emergency Respite

Respite Care Settings

  • At Home: The respite provider delivers care at the participant’s home, offering continuity of care in a familiar space.
  • Respite Facilities: Specialized facilities where participants can stay for a set duration, enjoying structured activities and support.
  • Shared Care Arrangements: In some cases, respite can be provided in a group home setting, where participants stay with others receiving similar care.
 

Accessing Respite Care under NDIS

  • Respite care is funded through a participant’s NDIS plan under Core Supports or Capacity Building Supports, depending on the participant’s specific needs and goals.
  • To access respite care, it needs to be included in the participant’s NDIS plan as a necessary support. This is typically based on a discussion during the NDIS planning meeting or review
