Providing Disability Support in Shellharbour

Respite care is a type of short-term, temporary relief for families and other primary caregivers who look after individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses. It gives the primary caregiver an opportunity to take some time away from their usual responsibilities, either temporarily or on a regular basis. This respite can be provided in a variety of ways such as in-home care, day care centres, group homes, specialised camps and overnight stays. Respite care can help reduce stress and fatigue while providing much needed rest and recuperation to the primary caregiver.

Community participation is essential for those living with disabilities to lead a healthy, fulfilled life. As members of our society, we should all strive to create an inclusive and accessible environment that enables people with disabilities to take part in activities in their local community. By encouraging community participation, people with disabilities can develop lasting relationships and find meaningful ways to contribute to the community. This builds self-esteem and confidence while providing them access to education, work opportunities, social contact and recreational activities.

NDIS accommodation services provide people with disability access to safe and suitable housing. This can include supported living arrangements, residential respite, shared or group living, specialist disability accommodation and home modifications. These are all forms of housing that give people the best chance at leading an independent life.
