Supporto’s Respite Care for School Holidays is designed to give families a break while ensuring children have a safe, fun, and enriching holiday experience. Our programs are inclusive, welcoming children of all abilities and backgrounds.
We offer care at your home, at our centre, or with an approved carer. Activities are tailored to each child’s interests and needs, ranging from creative workshops and outdoor adventures to sensory play and group excursions.
We take the time to get to know your child’s interests, strengths, and support needs. Whether your child thrives in creative workshops, enjoys sensory play, or loves exploring the outdoors, our carers design daily programs that reflect those preferences. We also adapt our activities to accommodate all abilities, ensuring every child can participate fully and feel included.
Our respite care isn’t just about looking after your child, it's about supporting your whole family. We offer flexible scheduling, including hourly, daily, or overnight options, to fit around your commitments and provide you with genuine relief. Our team is always available to answer questions and work with you to develop a care plan that evolves as your needs change.
Our carers are experienced in supporting children with disabilities and medical needs.
We prioritise open communication and regular updates, so you always know your child is safe and happy.
At Supporto, we pride ourselves on the quality and expertise of our care team. Our specialist carers bring a wealth of experience in disability support, behavioural management, and medical care, ensuring that every child receives the individual attention and understanding they deserve.
Each carer is carefully selected not only for their professional qualifications but also for their compassion, patience, and genuine passion for working with children.
Our respite care is available to any family needing support during school holidays, including those caring for children with disabilities, developmental delays, or medical needs. We also welcome families who simply need a break or additional help during the holidays. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our team is happy to discuss your situation and recommend the best options.

We offer a wide variety of activities tailored to each child’s interests, abilities, and needs. This includes creative arts and crafts, music, sports, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and group excursions to local attractions. Our programs are inclusive and adaptable, ensuring every child can participate and enjoy their holiday experience.
Booking respite care is straightforward. Start by contacting our team to discuss your needs and confirm eligibility. We’ll guide you through the registration process, which involves completing an application form and providing relevant details about your child’s medical or support needs.
Once eligibility is confirmed, we’ll work with you to develop a personalised care plan, match your child with a suitable carer, and schedule the sessions you require. We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for popular holiday periods, but we also do our best to accommodate last-minute or emergency requests.
Our team includes carers with extensive experience in disability support, behavioural management, and medical care. All carers are carefully screened, background-checked, and receive ongoing training in first aid, child protection, and specialised support techniques. We match carers to your child based on their individual needs, ensuring a safe, supportive, and enjoyable experience for every family
