Frequently Asked Questions
Respite care can support NDIS participants, older Australians, people with disability, people with chronic illness, and families who need temporary care assistance. It is especially helpful when a regular carer needs time to rest, attend appointments, manage work or family responsibilities, or recover from illness. The type and frequency of support will depend on the person’s care needs, funding, and individual circumstances.
Respite care may include in-home respite, short-term accommodation, centre-based respite, cottage respite, emergency respite, or overnight support. In-home respite allows the participant to stay in a familiar environment, while short-term accommodation can provide care away from home for a planned break. The best option depends on the participant’s routine, support needs, comfort level, and carer availability.
Yes, respite care may be funded through the NDIS if it is considered reasonable and necessary and supports the participant’s goals. It may fall under supports such as Short Term Accommodation, Assistance with Daily Living, or other relevant support categories in the participant’s plan. It is best to check the participant’s NDIS plan or speak with a support coordinator to confirm how funding can be used.
Respite care can include help with showering, dressing, grooming, mobility, meal preparation, domestic assistance, transport, medication prompts, companionship, and community access. Support can also include supervision and assistance with daily routines to help the participant feel safe and comfortable. Services are tailored around the participant’s care needs, preferences, and usual routine.
Respite care can be arranged for a few hours, a full day, overnight, several days, or longer depending on the participant’s needs and available funding. Some families use respite regularly, while others only need it occasionally during busy or stressful periods. The duration should be planned around the participant’s comfort, care requirements, and the carer’s need for a break.
Respite care gives carers time to rest, recharge, manage personal tasks, or look after their own health and wellbeing. Taking regular breaks can help reduce stress, prevent burnout, and support long-term caring arrangements. It also gives families peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving safe and reliable support while they are away.

Disability Support Services
What are disability support services?
Disability services provide assistance to people with disabilities so that they can live independently and participate in the community. These services can include help with everyday tasks, personal care, transport, and access to education and employment.
How can I get funding for disability support services?
There are a number of ways to finance disability services. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that provides financial assistance to people with disabilities.
You may also be eligible for government benefits such as the Disability Support Pension (DSP) or Carer Allowance. Private funding is another option that can be used to cover the cost of services not covered by government benefits.
Do I qualify for disability support?
To qualify for disability support, you must have a physical, intellectual, or psychiatric condition that limits your ability to participate in day programs and activities. You will also need to provide proof of your condition from a medical professional.
How can I apply for disability support?
If you think you may be eligible for disability support, the first step is to contact a support provider to discuss your needs. They will assess your eligibility and help you to develop a care plan.
An individual must have a severe disability as a consequence of permanent impairment (physical, intellectual, cognitive, neurological, visual, or psychosocial) in order to receive an NDIS plan and assistance.
Basic Home Care creates flexible support plan and provides excellent service.
