Short Term Respite with 7 Care Disability Services Reliable, Compliant Respite Support Every Step of the Way
When daily care becomes constant, everyone deserves a break. But that shouldn’t compromise quality support! 7 Care Disability Services is here to take care of that while giving both participants and their informal supports the time to recharge. We offer dedicated, person-centred short term respite to ensure your loved one continues to receive care in a safe, structured environment while you rest and rejuvenate.
What Is Short Term Respite (STR)?
Short term respite (STR) is an NDIS disability-related support, not an accommodation service. It focuses on providing temporary care while giving informal carers (family or friends) a meaningful break.
- Supports participants with ongoing daily care needs
- Maintains routines and wellbeing during the break
- Strengthens long-term sustainability of informal care
STR is not a holiday or travel-based service; it directly relates to disability support needs and NDIS goals.
Who Is Eligible for STR?
To access short term respite, you must meet specific criteria aligned with current guidelines:
- Receive significant daily support (6+ hours) from informal carers
- Live with or rely heavily on family or unpaid supports
- Require respite to maintain sustainable care arrangements
- Demonstrate the support is reasonable and necessary
Note: STR is generally not funded if participants already live independently or have extensive paid supports such as SIL.
What’s Included in Our STR Services?
7 Care Disability Services delivers fully compliant, participant-centred respite aligned with NDIS expectations.
Our STR support may include:
- Assistance with personal care and hygiene
- Support with daily living routines
- Meal preparation and basic living needs
- Social and community participation (within plan scope)
- Overnight or 24/7 support if required
All services are structured to reflect your usual care needs.
