NDIS respite care offers carers, loved ones, and participants a break when they need it most.

NDIS respite care with 24/7 support is round-the-clock care that gives individuals living with disability a safe, comfortable place to stay when their usual carers need a break. It’s about stepping in with the same level of compassion and consistency, so routines are maintained, wellbeing is supported, and everyone involved can take a much-needed breath.

Caring for a loved one is a significant responsibility, and sometimes caregivers need support too. Our NDIS respite care services are designed to give families peace of mind while ensuring participants receive the attentive, person-centred care they deserve at any hour of the day or night.

Key features of NDIS Respite Care

Continuous care

We provide support day and night, with no gaps in care. This includes help with personal care, mobility, medication, meals, and daily routines—whether you're staying for one night or several weeks.

Safe and supportive environment

Participants stay in warm, welcoming environments—often in Specialist Disability Accommodation or Short Term Accommodation—where everything is set up to support individual needs. Our trained team is always on-site to assist.

Trained, compassionate staff

Our support workers are experienced in providing a high level of care, including for those with complex needs. More importantly, they’re people who genuinely care and work hard to make everyone feel at home.

Personalised, familiar routines

We take the time to understand each participant’s preferences and goals. Whether it’s following a familiar bedtime routine or joining in favourite activities, our aim is to make every stay as comfortable and empowering as possible.

Open communication

Families are kept informed with regular updates, and a 24/7 contact line is available for any questions or check-ins along the way.

Who can access NDIS Respite Care Support?

If your NDIS plan includes Short Term Accommodation (STA), you may be eligible for funded respite stays through PACC. We can help you understand what’s included and how to access it.

This service is ideal for individuals who require assistance throughout the day and night, or whose care needs exceed what can be safely managed at home.

Caring for someone is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. 24/7 respite care offers carers time to rest, recharge, and return with renewed energy, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

Benefits of Respite Care in Adelaide with PACC

Keeps people safe and well

When care is provided around the clock, there’s always someone available to respond—whether it's helping with medication, managing health concerns, assisting with mobility, or simply offering reassurance through the night. This continuous care greatly reduces the risk of accidents, missed medications, or unmet personal care needs. For individuals with higher support needs or complex health conditions, this kind of oversight can be life changing. At PACC, we ensure every participant is looked after with compassion, dignity, and attentiveness—no matter the time of day or night.

Supports carers to keep supporting

Caring for a loved one is an incredibly selfless act, but without adequate breaks, it can lead to physical exhaustion, emotional stress, and eventual burnout. Respite care provides carers with the breathing space they need to look after their own health, relationships, and responsibilities. Whether it's to catch up on sleep, focus on work, spend time with other family members, or simply relax, 24/7 respite ensures carers can take that time guilt-free, knowing their loved one is in capable and caring hands. It’s a vital step in sustaining long-term caregiving without compromising personal wellbeing.

Benefits of respite care Adelaide

Encourages growth and independence

Respite doesn’t just benefit carers—it also provides an opportunity for participants to step outside their usual environment and explore their independence in a safe and supported way. With gentle encouragement from our team, individuals are supported to try new activities, practice life skills, and socialise with others. This can be especially empowering for those who are working toward greater self-confidence or transitioning to more independent living in the future. Even small experiences—such as choosing meals, making new friends, or participating in community outings—can build valuable skills and foster a sense of personal achievement.

Flexible to suit your needs

Everyone’s circumstances are different, which is why respite care at PACC is designed to be as flexible as possible. Whether a participant needs a one-off overnight stay, regular weekend breaks, or a short-term solution during a family emergency, we can tailor our support to fit their needs. With up to 28 days per year of NDIS-funded Short Term Accommodation (STA) available for most participants, you have the freedom to plan ahead or respond to changing needs. Our friendly team works closely with you to find the best timing, location, and care model to suit your goals and lifestyle.

Strengthens relationships

Taking time apart can often strengthen the bond between participants and their carers. A break can bring fresh perspective, renewed patience, and improved communication, especially during stressful periods. It gives everyone involved a chance to reset and reconnect in a more balanced, positive way. For families and relationships under pressure, this can be an essential support mechanism, not just a luxury.

Builds trust and routine with new support networks

Staying with experienced support staff outside the family unit introduces participants to new people and routines. Over time, this can build trust with new caregivers and broaden their circle of support. It’s a gentle introduction to other service settings and a chance to experience care in a different context—one that still feels safe, welcoming, and familiar. This can be particularly helpful for participants preparing for future transitions, such as moving into Supported Independent Living or accessing more community-based supports.

Access and Funding

24/7 respite support is generally funded through the NDIS under Short Term Accommodation (STA). Most plans include up to 28 days of STA per year, which can be used flexibly—whether in a single block, on weekends, or spread out over the year.

Our friendly team at PACC can help you understand your funding options and organise the right type of support for your situation.
