Overnight Respite Care For Children

Overnight respite care for children is a crucial service for families in NSW needing temporary but reliable support. Our Family Respite offers tailored overnight stays prioritising your child’s wellbeing while giving parents or primary carers a much-needed break.
Our overnight services cater to children living with disabilities or requiring specialised attention, including those eligible for respite care. We operate overnight respite, from single-night care to extended four-week stays.
Key Benefits:
- Consistency: Typically, one weekend every 4 weeks, with the same carer each stay.
- Flexibility: Scheduling can be adjusted to align with the participant’s funding and specific needs.
- Reliability: The same carer can be available for additional support and emergencies.
Our team takes the time to understand your child’s needs, preferences, and routines. This ensures overnight stays feel less like a service and more like a safe second home.
Professional Overnight Carer Services

An overnight carer can be a lifesaver for families needing extended, attentive care for their loved ones without disrupting their daily lives. Our Family Respite provides compassionate and consistent overnight care for individuals who require support due to age, disability, or illness.
Our Family Respite offers professional overnight carer services across NSW, whether a single night or up to four weeks. From in-home support to emergency overnight care, we aim to ensure every family feels reassured knowing their loved one is in capable, caring hands.
