Caring for others is one of the most rewarding roles in the community — but even the most dedicated carers need time to rest, recharge, or deal with the unexpected. At Let’s Get Away Support Services, we recognise the vital role that independent carers play in the lives of their clients.
That’s why we’ve created a Planned Emergency Respite Service designed specifically to support you — without ever stepping on your toes.
Planned Emergency Respite Services for Independent Carers: Reliable Support When You Need It Most
🤝 We’re Here to Support, Not Compete
Let’s be clear from the start: we don’t take anyone’s clients.
We work on an agreement basis with independent carers and sole traders to act as a registered, temporary support partner — ready to step in during emergencies, pre-planned breaks, or unexpected life events. Once care resumes with the original provider, we step back.
Your client relationships remain exactly that — yours.
📆 Flexible Support with 3–7 Days’ Notice
Emergencies don’t wait for the right time — and neither do we. Whether it’s an urgent family matter, illness, or a much-needed break, our team is ready to step in with as little as 3–7 days’ notice.
We’re equipped to deliver short-term support across:
- Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
- Daily support shifts
- Overnight and weekend respite
- Community access and social engagement
Our team is experienced, empathetic, and highly adaptable, ensuring a seamless transition for your client — with zero disruption to their routine.
🧩 Vetted Carers Who Care and Adapt
We understand that many independent carers are deeply invested in their clients’ wellbeing. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have the space to look after your own. Our carers are all trained to be very adaptive to all clients situations and abilities.
Our Planned Emergency Respite Service gives you the confidence to:
- Take time off without stress
- Handle emergencies without scrambling for cover
- Maintain your health and personal wellbeing
- Avoid burnout while continuing to do what you love
🏡 Trusted, Quality Care — Always
When you partner with Let’s Get Away, you’re not just getting a stand-in. You’re getting a team of professionals who are NDIS registered, fully qualified, and community focused. Our support staff bring compassion, professionalism, and energy to every shift.
We prioritise:
- Clear communication and documentation
- Consistency in care
- Maintaining routines and dignity for each participant
- Respect for existing support relationships
🌟 Community Helping Community
Our goal isn’t just to serve participants — it’s to support the people who support them. By partnering with independent carers across Queensland, we’re helping build a stronger, more resilient care industry — one that looks after its own.
Because at the end of the day, caring is a community effort. And you don’t have to do it alone.
