Our caring respite services give you the break you need
When you’re looking for respite care in Victoria, you’ve come to the right place. Melba respite is your registered NDIS provider Victoria for respite care across much of the state.
Carers need to take short breaks regularly. One key reason is to stay on top of their health. Caring can be stressful and so a break will give a carer time to recharge their batteries and do other things while Melba takes over the caring role.
Whether the break is overnight or for a few days, both the carer and person supported will benefit.
Melba offers dedicated respite services for:
- adults
- children
Our respite services are tailored to the individual’s needs and interests.
What does a supported person do at Melba respite?
Being a registered NDIS provider Victoria, Melba offers comprehensive services and supports for people with disability.
When it comes to short-term accommodation and assistance, there is a large range of fun activities the person supported can do while in respite care with us. These help to boost confidence and grow all-important independent living skills.
Here are some of the activities a supported person can enjoy:
- socialising with others
- making new friends
- going to the movies or enjoying a meal out
- playing a favourite sport
- sensor activities
- visiting local attractions
- participating in events in the local community
- enjoying in-home activities such as reading books, arts, crafts

With Melba, respite care is a beneficial break for both the carer and the person supported.
