At Disability Matters, we understand that everyone needs time to rest and recharge – including carers. That’s why we proudly deliver Short Term Respite (STR) supports under the NDIS.
Our Short term respite house in Atherton on the beautiful Tablelands, gives people with disabilities the chance to enjoy a supportive change of scenery – while their family or informal supports take a well-eared break.
Our caring, experienced team provides the assistance you need with daily living, personal care, and community activities, helping you stay independent and engaged while your loved ones rest easy knowing you are in good hands.
Our STR house is based on a 1 support worker to 2 clients (1:2) ratio, however, we have the ability to scale down to 1:4 or up to 1:1.
Disability Matters manages supported independent living (SIL) houses where housemates are provided with 24/7 support. This is their home!
Supported independent living is a wonderful opportunity for people who wish to live their own life, have the company of a housemate/s and there is the comfort and reassurance that care and support is in place all day every day.
Our support workers provide assistance with banking, shopping, domestic chores and skill development if and when required.
Assistance and support are provided to enable the residents to pursue their own particular interests, and become contributing members of their community.
This support strengthens the client’s independence and gives peace of mind to their, often elderly, parent carers.
Disability Matters can source a home for those who are interested in pursuing this option.
We will guide you through the NDIS pathway to gain the required SIL funding and if required also find you a compatible housemate.
If you are interested in SIL in the future, but not quite ready yet, we can place you on a ‘waiting list’ for when a vacancy becomes available in one of our existing houses.
