NDIS Customised Respite in Perth — Meaningful Breaks, Designed Around You

Caring for someone you love is one of the most rewarding things you can do — but even the most dedicated carers need time to recharge. And for NDIS participants, having access to well-designed, purpose-built respite is not just a nice-to-have. It is an essential part of a life well-lived.

At District 360, we believe that respite should be more than just a break. It should be an experience that aligns with who you are — your interests, your goals, your personality. That is the heart of customised respite, and it is something we are proud to deliver to participants and families across Perth.

What Is NDIS Customised Respite?

Customised respite — sometimes referred to as individual respite or flexible respite — is short-term, tailored support designed around the unique needs and preferences of each participant. Unlike standard short-term accommodation (STA), customised respite can take place in a range of settings and formats, giving participants and their families far greater flexibility.

Under the NDIS, customised respite is typically funded under Core Supports, within the Assistance with Daily Life category. Depending on your plan, it may also be linked to Short Term Accommodation supports. This makes it accessible for participants with a wide range of needs, goals, and funding arrangements.

Why Customised Respite Matters

For many participants, customised respite is a gateway to new experiences, greater independence, and stronger social connections. It gives participants the opportunity to step outside their everyday routines, try new activities, and build confidence in a supported environment.

For families and informal carers, it provides the breathing space needed to rest, attend to personal commitments, or simply take time for themselves — knowing their loved one is in safe, capable, and caring hands.

At District 360, we have seen firsthand the transformative impact that well-planned, personalised respite can have. A weekend exploring new hobbies, an afternoon at a local event, or a few days in a supported community setting — each experience is carefully designed to be meaningful, not just manageable.

How District 360 Designs Your Customised Respite

Every customised respite plan we create starts with a conversation. We get to know the participant — what they enjoy, what they want to try, what makes them feel comfortable and confident. From there, we work alongside the participant, their family, and their support coordinator to build a respite experience that genuinely fits.

Our team is experienced across a broad range of support needs, including physical disability, psychosocial disability, autism, acquired brain injury, and more. We are also skilled at supporting participants who find transitions or new environments challenging, taking extra care to ensure every experience is introduced gently and at the right pace.

Customised respite with District 360 can include:

• Community outings and recreational activities tailored to participant interests

• Supported stays with trusted carers in a home-like environment

• Group or individual activities designed around your personal goals

• Skill-building experiences linked to your NDIS outcomes

• Creative, cultural, and social participation opportunities
