The role of a carer can be incredibly rewarding and at the same time, an exhausting responsibility. The carers and the disabled, require a temporary break to reduce the stress and anxiety, improve their relationship, and attend to things outside of caregiving. NDIS considers the carers as an integral part of the disability support and hence promotes respite care services.


Respite Care is not explicitly mentioned in NDIS core support services, but a range of support categories could be accessed which would have a respite effect, directly or indirectly. Participants could choose informal respite care provided by a friend or a family member, or entrust the disabled individual with expert support professionals.
