A real break, held with real care.

Families need to breathe, and participants sometimes just need a change of view. Our Short-Term Accommodation and respite, offered across the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter, gives both. A planned stay in a warm, supported home with experienced workers on shift 24/7. A genuine few days away with people who really care.

Ways to stay

A stay that actually feels like one.

Planned stays

Book ahead for school holidays, family events or a regular monthly breather. Something the whole household can look forward to.

Emergency respite

Same-day or next-day stays when life at home shifts fast. Call us, a real person answers, and we move quickly.

24/7 active care

Experienced support workers on shift overnight, awake and attentive. Everyone can rest easy.

Little adventures

Day trips, fishing, the zoo, the lake. The stay is part of the fun, not simply a place to sleep between appointments.
