Respite
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), what was known as respite is now called short-term accommodation.
Respite offers short-term breaks for families or carers of children and adults with a disability to help support and maintain their care giving relationships.
It provides a positive experience including the opportunity to mix with other people giving the regular carer a break.
Families have the constant responsibility of providing care to their family member with a disability. Parents and carers often have little time for themselves to maintain their own interests, health and relationships. Planned respite gives families that all-important break.
Respite is available to anyone with an intellectual disability with the minimum age of eight years.
