Your carer relationship is important to you. It's important to us too.

Thinking of taking time off? Flexible respite is a scheduled break from your caring role.

We’ll organise a qualified worker to take over while you take a step back. Whether you’d like some space, or you’d prefer to stay present during the respite time, we’ll arrange the support that suits your needs.

Home respite support during the day – Enjoy a little in-home care. Our paid worker will visit you at home, taking over your caring duties for a day.

Overnight home care – This is overnight care to give you the chance to take a holiday, go to medical appointments or maybe just catch up on some well-deserved sleep. Similar to live-in care, our overnight respite team are qualified to deliver personal care and dispense medications.

Your time out doesn’t mean your loved one stays in. While you take a break, our support workers can support your loved one with an outing they’d enjoy – like a cuppa with a friend, seeing a movie or a round of mini-golf.

Also known as ‘Community Access – Individual’, this service helps your loved one maintain social connections and independence, while giving you the time off you need.
