Respite & Overnight Care (NDIS)

Short breaks, real support - at home or at ours.

Everyone needs a break now and then — whether you’re a carer or someone living with a disability. That’s where respite care comes in. At United for Care, we offer two flexible options to suit your life and what works best for you:

1. In-home respite care

We come to you. This option means you or your loved one can stay at home, stick to familiar routines, and still get the support you need.

We offer:

Daytime respite

Sleepover shifts – a support worker stays overnight and sleeps onsite, available if needed

Active overnight shifts – a support worker stays awake all night to provide support when needed

Emergency support in your home

Overnight care at home might include:

Help with toileting or continence

Medication reminders

Repositioning in bed

Support with night-time anxiety

General safety and wellbeing checks

2. Short stays in our homes

Sometimes a change of scene is just what’s needed. Our Short-Term Accommodation (STA) options are available in several of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes.

Here, participants can:

Stay in a safe, welcoming space with 24/7 support

Take a break in a new environment

Build confidence, make connections, and enjoy a change of pace

It’s ideal for planned stays, a weekend breather, or even a holiday-style escape.

👉 Explore our STA options in Supported Independent Living

Who is respite for?

Respite care is available to both adults and children with NDIS plans — especially if you have Core Supports funding. Whether you're planning ahead or need something urgently, we're here to help.
