Chosen Family

Enjoy the intimate ambiance of having respite in a location of your choice. We don’t decide which home or environment you receive your respite, we will provide you with options utilising platforms such as Airbnb to find you a stunning oasis for your time away. Chosen Family's Respite is a fun and inclusive environment where you can try new activities and make friends in a safe and supported environment. We are happy to ensure our facilities are 24/7 hours staffed and fully furnished. This is the place where participants can engage in fun activities and excellent dietary matched meals with staff.  There are three levels of respite-like support available for funding as part of plans: Level 1: 7 to 14 days per year to allow the carer to attend critical activities.​ Level 2: 14 to 28 days per year and includes a strategy to build capabilities for future independence.​ Level 3: Equivalent to 28 days per year, when the carer provides support most days, informal support is at risk of not continuing due to the intensity of the required support or severe behavioural issues. If you are eligible for respite funding, it will include funding for accommodation in a group residence for a short period of time – typically up to 14 days at a time. It will also have support for self-care, food, and activities.
