Who it's for

This support suits participants who would benefit from a short stay away from home, and families or carers who need planned respite. It's usually funded from the Core budget of an NDIS plan.

What's included

  • Respite (on request)
  • Personal care and daily support during a stay
  • Activities and community access while you're with us
  • Planning with you and your family before a stay

Respite and STA are available on request. When a referral comes in, we set up a stay around the person's needs and dates. We'll always be upfront about what we can arrange, and we won't confirm a stay until everything is in place.

How referral works

  1. Get in touch

    Call 0412 306 722 or email admin@equalaccesscare.com.au with the basics. Support coordinators can keep details de-identified until consent is in place.

  2. We call you back the same day

    We'll ask about goals, needs and what's in the plan.

  3. Fartun meets you

    Fartun meets the participant and family to talk through routines, preferences and anything that matters to you.

  4. We match consistent workers

    We look at what the person wants, such as gender, culture, language and personality, and aim for the same familiar faces each week. We keep you and your support coordinator updated as things progress.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a respite place available right now?

Respite is available on request rather than from a standing vacancy. Send us a referral with your dates and needs, and we'll work on setting up a stay and let you know what we can arrange.

Can my family member keep their routine during respite?

Yes. Fartun will meet with you beforehand so workers know the person's routines, preferences and support plan.

How is STA funded?

STA is usually funded from the Core budget of an NDIS plan. Your support coordinator or plan manager can help confirm what your plan covers.

Can I use this if my plan is self-managed or plan-managed?

Yes. We work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants.
