Respite services near Alfredton

Our special services give you the break you need

Alfredton is a family-friendly suburb of Ballarat that is constantly growing as new families move into the area. When residents want to get back to nature and unwind they can enjoy the walking tracks and natural wildlife at favourite locations such as the beautiful Lake Wendouree and Victoria Park. If you’re a carer, you need to take short breaks as well. This is where Melba Support Services can help. We’re a registered NDIS provider Victoria with professional respite services near Alfredton.

Let us ake over the support for a short time while you recharge your batteries. Whether it’s overnight or a few days, it will mean you can do other things such as attend to pressing matters, dealing with any stress, or just taking time out to rest and recharge. Respite also means the person you care for has a pleasant change of scenery while enjoying a fully supported break in our caring respite home.
