Respite with Linda is your home away from home: a safe haven for your child and a reassuring support for you.
We are a family owned and operated weekend respite service for children with disabilities, with a special focus on supporting autistic children and their families. Our service provides a nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environment where children can build confidence, form and maintain meaningful friendships, and participate in fun, community-based experiences.
Each weekend is thoughtfully planned and always includes a balance of adventure, creativity, and calm. Activities range from nature walks and visits to local attractions, to hands-on art sessions, sensory play, and quiet time to recharge. Our consistent and predictable routines help children feel secure and confident, easing anxieties and promoting emotional wellbeing.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, have fun, and work towards their personal goals in a supportive setting. Our caring team is qualified, experienced, and committed to professional development, ensuring the highest standard of care and support.
If you’re looking for weekend respite that truly feels like an extension of your family, we’d love to welcome you. Let us support your child to thrive while giving you the chance to rest, recharge, and reconnect.

a year agoRespite 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.

a year agoMy 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.

a year agoLinda 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.
