A family needs urgent respite
A parent or carer may need a safe short-term option quickly because the usual supports are unavailable, the home situation is under pressure or the participant needs a supported change of environment.
Emergency respite and STA
Short-notice emergency respite across Greater Sydney and the Central Coast
When a family, carer or support coordinator needs urgent respite and local providers cannot assist, JobsRUs can discuss short-notice accommodation with meals, entertainment and safety intervention staff trained in de-escalation and complex behaviour.
Short-notice enquiries accepted now. Placement depends on suitability, availability, participant needs, staffing and risk assessment.
A coordinator is calling providers one by one
When a local provider cannot take a short-notice placement, support coordinators often need a responsive provider who can discuss suitability, risks, funding and availability quickly.
Complex behaviour needs experienced support
Our team can discuss behaviour support needs, de-escalation requirements, routines, triggers, communication preferences and safety planning before confirming a placement.
