Respite & Holiday Support
Respite & Holiday Support
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new system through which people with disability can access supports and government funding. Caring Queensland can help our travellers to achieve their goals with our supported holidays.
The supports listed in your NDIS plan are an outline of your personalised needs. We provide these supports to help you build your skills, capacity and independence so that you can participate in your community, socialise and achieve your life goals.
Holidays are a great way to achieve a range of goals, including independence, social participation, health and wellbeing and more.
Chat to us about how our holidays can help you achieve your NDIS goals on 07 4325 3311 or fill out our enquiry form. We can provide a tailored travel quote for you to pass on to your NDIS planner if you wish.
