How we rank providers
Rankings in Queensland are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement and Group and Centre Based Activities, or offer respite, support work, and personal care. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in Queensland rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What is respite care?
Respite care is short-term or temporary support that gives a family carer a break while someone else looks after their family member. It can be in-home, overnight, or a short stay in accommodation, and covers everything from a few hours to several weeks. Under the NDIS, this support is called Short Term Respite, funded from a participant’s Core Supports budget (NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025-26).
Who it is for and how it is funded
Respite is for family carers of NDIS participants and older Australians who need a planned or emergency break. Under NDIS Short Term Respite rules (NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025-26), a participant generally needs an informal carer providing more than 6 hours of daily support, and is ineligible if already receiving more than 18 hours of paid support a day or using SIL or ILO; eligible participants get up to 28 days a year, capped at 14 days at a time. Older Australians access in-home respite through Support at Home or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, following the 1 November 2025 changeover from Home Care Packages, with residential respite capped at 63 subsidised days a financial year and extendable in 21-day blocks with assessor approval (Department of Health and Aged Care 2025).
