GV Disability Supports can offer organised respite care in the comfort of the clients own home or within in the community


Respite allows the opportunity for a participant to be supported by us whilst providing their carer with short term breaks from their usual caring responsibilities.

Other reasons participants can receive respite:

  • gives you the chance to try new things

  • can be a place to make new friends or develop new skills

  • may help to maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break.

Respite may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period. 

Respite includes:

  • personal care

  • accommodation

  • food

  • activities you and the provider agree to.

GV Disability Supports covers the cost of your care in another place for up to 14 days at a time.
