These are non-typical days and may include Short Term Accommodation (STA). They may also include a period of respite, which aims to support ongoing caring arrangements between participants and their carers. STA/respite allows the opportunity for the participant to be supported by someone else whilst providing their primary carer with short term break from their usual caring responsibilities.

The support items include all expenses in a 24-hour period including assistance with self-care or community access activities, accommodation, food and negotiated activities.

We are also available 24/7 for emergency respite care in a situation involving the primary carer where it might be difficult for required supports at home to be provided.
