Every family carer needs a break sometimes, and every NDIS participant can benefit from a change of scenery. Humility Support Services provides respite care in Heathwood, one of our established service suburbs in Brisbane’s south.
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.
Heathwood sits within our core southern Brisbane service area, alongside Pallara, Willawong, and Larapinta, so our support workers already know the area rather than being sent in from elsewhere for a single shift.
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.
Smaller suburbs like Heathwood can sometimes be treated as an afterthought by providers focused on larger population centres, leading to less familiar staff or slower response times for respite bookings.

Support workers already know the community, and we prioritise consistency for respite stays rather than sending in unfamiliar staff.
