Respite
A caring break for you and peace of mind for your family
Caring for a loved one is a labour of love, but everyone needs a break sometimes. At St Anastasia's Care, our respite support gives family carers the chance to rest and recharge, with the reassurance of knowing their loved one is in warm, capable hands.
Is this right for you?
Respite might be right for your family if you're a carer feeling stretched, needing time to attend to your own health, work, or commitments, or simply in need of a well-deserved rest. Whether it's a few hours, a regular arrangement, or a longer stay, we're here to share the load whenever you need us.
What's included
Our respite support can include:
- In-home respite for a few hours or longer
- Support with personal care and daily routines
- Companionship and engaging activities
- Overnight and short-stay respite options
- Planned regular breaks or one-off support
- Emergency and unplanned respite where available
How it's funded
Respite is available through:
- NDIS — under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life / Short Term Accommodation)
- Home Care Packages — for older Australians
- Privately funded — flexible support with no eligibility requirements

Our approach

You get a genuine break, knowing they're being cared for as we'd care for our own.
