Every family carer needs a break sometimes, and every NDIS participant can benefit from a change of scenery. Humility Support Services provides respite care across Brisbane, delivered by consistent, briefed support workers who already understand a participant’s routine.
What respite in Brisbane involves
Respite is a temporary, supported break, whether that’s extra in-home support so a carer can rest, or a short stay away from a participant’s usual home.
- Personal care and daily routines maintained throughout
- Consistent, briefed support workers rather than unfamiliar staff
- Planned social or skill-building activities, matched to individual preference
- Regular updates for family or carers during longer respite periods
- Flexible scheduling, from a few hours to an extended stay
Why local matters for respite in Brisbane
A support worker who already knows Brisbane’s suburbs, transport, and community options makes a respite arrangement feel far more settled than being supported by someone unfamiliar with the area. Our team is based in Brisbane’s southern and southwestern suburbs, not dispatched from elsewhere.
Who respite care suits
- Family carers needing a scheduled, reliable break
- Participants wanting to build confidence and independence away from their usual routine
- Situations following a hospital stay, needing a supported transition
- Participants considering a future move to Supported Independent Living, using respite as a trial

Funding respite care
Respite is generally funded through Core Supports, with the NDIA allocating a set amount per year based on assessed need. We’ll confirm exactly what your plan allows before booking.
Problems Faced by NDIS Participants and Carers in Brisbane
Carers in Brisbane often delay booking respite until they’re already at breaking point, and unfamiliar respite staff can make an already disruptive break feel more unsettling than restful.
How We Solve This & How Active We Are in Brisbane
Our Brisbane team, based across the southern and southwestern suburbs, prioritises involving a participant’s existing support workers in respite stays wherever possible. We actively encourage planning respite ahead of time rather than reactively, since occasional, planned breaks tend to be far more sustainable long term.
