Short-Term Respite 

At CFN we offer short term respite at our beautiful 4-bedroom, purpose built home – Deb’s Place. Short-term respite provides participants with support away from their usual home environment. It is designed to support participants’ wellbeing, independence, and social engagement, while also giving families and carers a short break from their caring role.

A stay at Deb’s Place provides individuals with a disability the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and relax – in an inclusive and safe environment.   

How we can assist you? 

We will work with you and your family to come up with flexible options that are right for you. 
Whether your goal is to increase daily living skills to become more independent, participate in in the community, or simply to enjoy a short break to help sustain informal supports in your life we can make it happen. 

There are other types of respite you can access at CFN:

Vacation Care (School holidays program)

We offer school holiday centre-based and community programs for children and teenagers, providing engaging and supportive experiences during school holidays. Participants have the opportunity to try new activities, build confidence, and make new friends. Our programs include a range of exciting excursions, supported by our energetic and experienced staff, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable experience for everyone

Social and Community Program 

We run several community-based programs at our Enthuse Hub. There are both individual and group-based options available. You can choose which programs you take part in based on your goals and interests. 

Our Enthuse Program runs Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 3 pm. We don’t clock out when the sun sets though, we also offer an array of evening and weekend events and activities to enrich your social and community experience.

Make lifelong friendships, hone your skills, and chase your dreams at Enthuse!

Community Access and In-Home 

We can provide 1:1 Community Access and In-Home Supports to assist participants to work towards their individual goals, build independence, attend appointments, and stay actively engaged in their community.

Our 1:1 supports are designed to build confidence and capacity in everyday life. Whether support is delivered in the home or out in the community, we work alongside participants to develop practical skills, establish routines, and increase independence in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.
