NDIS
Participants
At Therapeutic Support, our Respite Care services are designed to provide short-term care for NDIS participants to give carers and families across Newcastle and the Hunter region a well-deserved break while ensuring participants continue to receive compassionate, high-quality support.
Caring for a loved one can be demanding, and everyone deserves time to rest and recharge.
Our respite services provide short-term, flexible support in a safe and welcoming environment so carers can step away with peace of mind while participants continue to receive personalised care and meaningful activities outside their regular homes.
Whether you require a few hours of support, overnight care, short-term accommodation, or emergency respite, our team is ready to assist with services tailored to your family’s unique needs.
Our respite services are designed to support both participants and their caregivers by providing a positive and engaging experience during each stay.
Participants are supported in a comfortable and respectful environment while carers gain valuable time to attend to personal commitments, rest, or focus on other responsibilities.
Respite care can be arranged for:
✔ A few hours during the day
✔ Overnight stays
✔ Weekend or short breaks
✔ Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
✔ Planned respite care
✔ Emergency respite support when unexpected situations arise
Our goal is to maintain continuity of care while ensuring both participants and caregivers feel supported.
Respite with Therapeutic Support is not just about temporary care—it is also about ensuring participants continue to enjoy meaningful and engaging activities that support their independence and wellbeing.
During respite, participants can take part in activities such as:
✔ Community access outings across Newcastle and the Hunter region
✔ Visiting parks, cafes, or local attractions
✔ Social and recreational activities
✔ Creative hobbies such as art, music, or cooking
✔ Skill-building activities that promote independence
✔ Participation in local events or community programs
These experiences help participants stay socially connected, build confidence, and enjoy new opportunities while their carers take a break.
