Caring for a loved one is rewarding — and exhausting. Respite care gives family carers planned time to rest, while your loved one receives attentive care at home or in one of our comfortable centres.
A carer comes to your home so your loved one can stay in familiar surroundings while you take time for yourself.
Your loved one stays at one of our residential centres for a day, weekend, or extended break — with activities, meals, and companionship.
Short-notice respite available for unexpected situations. 24-hour placements available at select locations.
Social activities, outings, and group programs at Uniting day centres — giving carers a regular scheduled break.
Specialist respite for people living with dementia, in secure, calm environments with experienced staff.
Book respite in advance — ideal for holidays or regular self-care time. Government funding often covers costs.
Call us or fill in the form. We'll ask about your situation and what kind of break would help most.
Most funded respite requires a My Aged Care assessment. We'll help you arrange this — it's free.
Select in-home, day program, or residential respite — or a mix. We'll match you to the right option.
Your loved one is in safe hands. Return rested and ready — no guilt needed.
Leave your details and our friendly team will call you at a time that suits.
