Benefits of In-Home Respite Care
Benefits For Caregivers:
As a carer, it’s important to look after your own physical and mental wellbeing. This helps you avoid stress and burnout. Respite care gives primary caregivers the chance to take a break, whether that’s for appointments, a holiday, or your own hobbies and relationships.
Benefits For Participants:
In-home respite ensures Participants receive personalised care from a qualified, experienced support worker in a familiar environment. This ensures minimum disruption to routines and also gives you the chance to meet someone new.

Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Respite Care Services:
How do I know if in-home respite care is right for me?
If you’re a carer feeling tired, stretched thin, or noticing burnout creeping in, in-home respite gives you a proper break. It also helps ahead of planned events, medical appointments, or simply when you need time for yourself.
If you’re the person receiving support, it means getting to know a new support worker while staying in your own home, with no change to your usual routine.
Get in contact with our professional support staff are ready to answer any questions you may have about in-home respite care.
Am I eligible for NDIS-funded in-home respite care?
You may be eligible if you have an NDIS plan that includes funding for respite under your Core Supports budget. Our NDIS Funding guide explains what’s typically covered. If you’re still unsure, our team can help you work through your options.
What's the difference between in-home respite and overnight respite care?
In-home respite care takes place in your loved one’s own home, with no change to their usual environment. Overnight or extended respite is usually funded differently. It falls under Short Term Accommodation (STA), a separate NDIS category with its own pricing and yearly limits. Our team can help clarify which option, or combination, suits your NDIS plan.
