NDIS Respite for Children
Your Home Away From Home
Our overnight and weekend respite care gives parents and children a break from their usual routine. As a registered NDIS provider,
our respite accommodation invites you to recharge the batteries for a new week ahead. Children will enjoy a new place to
play and discover the world around them, while parents and carers can take a much-needed break.
We all know it takes a village to raise a child. At Respite with Linda, we believe it takes a village
to support a parent, too.
Your child will love spending time at Respite with Linda!
We offer a sanctuary where children and teens with disabilities have a great time making new friends, watching movies and going on
exciting excursions, all in a happy, safe, comfortable and NDIS goal-driven home environment.

"Respite with Linda is a life saver!"
Our son has been going each month for about 8 months and he loves going. He makes
friends and has a great time. Linda provides a wonderful program for the kids so there is endless fun and activities.She
supports our son with his NDIS goals. My husband and I can relax knowing that our son is having a wonderful time and
being looked after so well. We are able to recharge our batteries so that we can be the parents that our son needs us to
be to support him with all his challenges in life. Without Linda and her team, I don't know how we would all cope. Thank
you so much.

"Trained professionals who you can trust"
Linda and her team are wonderful with the children, they’re trained professionals who you can trust to keep your child/children safe. If it
wasn’t for Linda and her team of staff, I would never get any sort of respite, have been using these services for quite a few years now.
Keep up the great work and thank you for everything you do for my special little man.
– Holly
"She has made many friends"
My niece always comes home from a weekend with Linda with a big smile and loads to talk about. She feels very safe and can't wait for her
next weekend away with Linda and the crew. She has made many friends and enjoys all the activities and little excursions.

"Linda's service saved our family"
Many years ago, Linda's service saved our family. Overwhelmed by carer burnout and guilt, we managed to get some help with respite through
suncare. Years later, RWL remains part of our (respite) family. ❤️

"Linda and her family have been so good to my grandchild"
“They are so in tune with my grandson's needs and are so consistent with him. He enjoys his special time there and looks
forward to his time with them. Thank you, Linda and family, for all your love and support.”
– Kerry
