Approach

At SFS, we recognise autism as a natural variation within neurodiversity. Our approach is person-centred, valuing each individual’s abilities, preferences, and identity.

How we understand autism:

We see every individual as unique, offering support based on respect, active listening, and a deep understanding of their needs and communication styles.

How we provide neurodiversity-affirming support:

We adapt routines and communication methods according to individual preferences.

Our support workers are trained to promote autonomy, choice, and dignity.

We strive to maintain as much consistency and predictability as possible in our support.

How we support authentic expression and sensory needs:

During support, we aim to avoid environments or settings that may lead to sensory overload.

We respect self-regulatory behaviours (such as stimming).

We encourage self-advocacy and the right to express oneself freely.

At SFS, we promote not just inclusion, but a true sense of belonging—supporting autistic individuals to live authentically and with a high quality of life.

    My husband uses Sunshine Family Support for respite, he is having a fantastic time on every respite. He’s improving a lot in terms of quality of life inspite of his limitations. His needs, safety & requirements were always highly considered & well looked after. Priscila is in-charge of us, she is impeccably attentive, kind & respectful. Request process is topnotch, no fuss & with a high sense of urgency. Super highly recommended!

    Sunshine Family Support helped me out with a last minute respite and provided me with a beautiful and knowledgeable support worker who immediately bonded with my son. Very grateful and highly recommend. Their compassion and understanding was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

    I love booking respite with Sunshine Families as they make the process so easy. All I have to do is choose the location, let one of the lovely admin ladies know, digitally sign the service agreement and its done! I get digital gift cards per day of the respite and can use these for did and activities. I recently booked a stay at the Beachside Resort in Kawana for 2 nights. I stayed there with my children and had the option of also booking staff to assist with supporting the children. I didn't do that this time but the activities at the motel were fun and kept the children busy - the pool, table tennis and tennis court, plus the beach and shopping centre are close by.
