Respite support in Sydney

Prime 1 Care provides NDIS and disability support information for Sydney participants, families and support coordinators. Start with your suburb, the service you need and your preferred routine so our team can discuss a practical support arrangement. Discuss respite & short term support requirements and local service availability with our national team.

Plan support around life in Sydney

Start with your part of Sydney

Travel across Sydney can affect scheduling. Tell us where support starts and finishes, including regular appointments, community activities and any access or parking requirements.

Coordinate existing services

If several providers are involved, identify the main contact and the tasks each service is responsible for. Agree how updates and changes will be shared with your consent.

Plan a provider handover

Tell us about current support, preferred workers and any timing constraints. Discuss notice requirements under your existing agreement before setting a new start date.

Plan around the participant

A short stay or respite arrangement should consider the participant’s routine, preferences, relationships and goals. Discuss personal care, communication, mobility and any nursing requirements at the outset.

Be clear about what is included

Accommodation, assistance, activities, meals and transport may involve different arrangements. Ask for a clear description of the service, staffing, costs and what the participant needs to bring.

Confirm funding and availability

Do not assume that a stay, holiday or break is funded under an NDIS plan. The relevant funding requirements and the specific service arrangement need confirmation before booking.

Clear answers. A place to start.

Can I enquire about Short Term Accommodation or STA?

Yes. Explain the dates, location and support required. Prime 1 Care can discuss current options and what needs to be confirmed, including suitability, availability, inclusions and funding.

Can respite be arranged urgently?

Call the national team to discuss timing and availability. An urgent enquiry does not guarantee a placement. Website forms and general enquiry channels are not emergency services.
