NDIS Respite Care in Perth — How District 360 Can Help

Caring for a loved one with a disability is one of the most meaningful things you can do — and one of the most demanding. Whether you are a parent, partner, sibling, or carer, you give so much of yourself every single day. NDIS respite care exists to give you the breathing space you deserve, while ensuring the person you care for continues to receive quality, person-centred support.

At District 360, we provide NDIS respite care for participants and families across Perth — including Joondalup, Rockingham, and Mandurah. As a registered NDIS provider (Registration ID: 4-4GHG-934), we are here to help you understand your options, access your funding, and find respite that truly works for your family.

What Is NDIS Respite Care?

NDIS respite care — formally known as Short Term Accommodation (STA) — provides temporary support for participants while giving their primary carers a break. It is funded under the NDIS as part of a participant's plan and can be used in a range of ways depending on individual goals and support needs.

Respite care is not just about giving carers time off — it is also about giving participants the chance to build independence, explore new activities, develop social connections, and experience life in a supported setting outside the home.

Types of Respite Care Available Through the NDIS

There are several types of respite care available under the NDIS, and District 360 supports participants to access them all across Perth.

Short Term Accommodation (STA)

Also known as respite, STA provides accommodation and support for a short period — usually up to 14 days at a time. During this time, participants receive personal care, community access, and activities in a safe and supportive environment. STA funding is included in many NDIS plans, particularly where there is a need to support primary carers.

Group Respite

Our group respite programs bring participants together for shared experiences, social activities, and community outings. These programs are a great way to make friends, try new things, and build confidence — all while giving primary carers meaningful time to rest and recharge.

Customised Respite

For participants with complex or high support needs, customised respite offers a tailored solution. We work closely with participants, families, and support coordinators to design a respite experience that meets specific goals, health requirements, and personal preferences. No two people are the same — and neither is our approach.

Who Is Eligible for Respite Funding Through the NDIS?

If you have an NDIS plan that includes a budget for Assistance with Daily Activities or Short Term Accommodation, you may be eligible to use those funds for respite care. Eligibility depends on your individual plan and the goals documented within it.

Not sure how to access your respite funding? Our support coordination team can help you navigate your plan, identify the right supports, and connect you with the right services. We work with participants and families across Perth — from Joondalup in the north through to Rockingham and Mandurah in the south — to make the process as clear and simple as possible.
