Take a break while your loved one stays safe and supported

Respite care with Support at Home

Start your journey1300 428 486

Support at Home (SaH) help older Australians live well at home, and they also give carers the chance to take a break, rest, and recharge. Caring for a loved one can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be demanding.  

If respite is included in your Support at Home plan, your carer can take time out with confidence, knowing your safe, supported, and cared for. 

What’s included in respite through Support at Home?

If respite for carers is part of your Support at Home, it gives the carer the chance to take a break and focus on things like: 

Looking after their own wellbeing

Attend personal or medical appointments

Managing daily tasks and errands

Join an educational course, workshop or event

All the while knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and in good hands.
