Caring Respite Accommodation for Young People in Need
Vital respite services—for you and those in your care.
Caring for someone can be both rewarding and challenging. Finding a trusted, supportive environment for respite is vital—for them and for you.
Our Respite Accommodation Services offer young people short-term stays in a safe, nurturing space. They enjoy engaging activities and new friendships while you take a well-deserved break and find peace of mind.
What is Respite Accommodation?
Our respite accommodation provides short-term stays where young people can relax, engage in activities, and explore new experiences. Accessible through the NDIS and other funding, our service offers young people a new experience in a supportive environment, while giving families the opportunity to recharge and reconnect.
Who is it for?
Our respite accommodation services are designed for young people under 25, with support available through the NDIS, the Occupation Children’s Guardian, and the Department of Communities and Justice.
We also offer limited scholarships and funding options for at-risk youth who may not meet these criteria but are in need of support. Please reach out to discuss eligibility or special circumstances.
