Respite or Short Term Care - Complex Needs
At Big Brown House, we can provide a variety of flexible respite options for children and young people with complex needs, to assist parents and carers and to maintain family connections.
Big Brown House is registered with the Office of the Children Guardian's to provide care to a child or young person away from their usual home. This can be funded under a child or young person's NDIS package.
Respite care is for short, usually pre-planned periods of time. Respite carers might care for a child one weekend a month or for a few weeks during school holidays, providing the child and family, time to rest and recharge.
Respite carers provide a ‘normal everyday life’, where the child or young person can attend school, participate in sport, hobbies, friendship groups and appointments in a safe and caring environment.
