Respite Care NDIS Services in Sydney
Flexa Care provides flexible in-home and community respite care for NDIS participants and their families across Western Sydney. Respite care gives primary carers a planned break — time to rest, attend to their own needs, or simply recharge — while the participant receives quality support from an experienced Flexa Care worker.For NDIS participants, respite is funded under Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life or Short Term Accommodation (STA). Flexa Care supports self-managed and plan-managed participants.
Types of Respite Care We Provide
In-Home Respite
A Flexa Care support worker comes to your home and provides care and supervision while the primary carer takes a break. The participant stays in their own familiar environment.
Community Respite
The participant is supported to engage in community activities, outings or programs while the carer rests. This option also builds the participant’s independence and social skills.
Overnight Respite
For situations where carers need an extended break, overnight respite can be arranged. See our Overnight Respite page for more details.
Emergency Respite
Where a carer is unexpectedly unavailable due to illness or emergency, we can arrange urgent respite support subject to worker availability. Call 0433 880 073 immediately.
