Night & overnight support
Active overnight and sleepover support in your own home, so you and your family can rest knowing help is there through the night.
Support that doesn't stop at bedtime
For many people, the night is when support matters most. Overnight support is part of our in-home support: a support worker stays in your home through the night so you can sleep safely, knowing someone is there if you need them.
There are two ways we can provide it, and we'll work out with you which one fits your needs and your NDIS plan:
Active overnight support
A support worker stays awake throughout the night and provides assistance whenever you need it. This suits people who need regular help during the night, for example with toileting, repositioning or medication, or who need someone alert and available at all times.
Sleepover support
A support worker sleeps at your home overnight and gets up to help when you need them. This suits people who usually sleep through but want the reassurance of someone on hand if something comes up.
What overnight support can include
Every night routine is different, so we tailor overnight support to you. Depending on your needs, your support worker can help with:
- Toileting and continence care during the night
- Repositioning and turning in bed for comfort and skin care
- Medication reminders and support at night-time
- Moving safely around the home and preventing falls
- Reassurance and a calm presence if you wake feeling unwell or anxious
- Help settling for the night and getting ready in the morning
Our support workers are trained in providing in-home care, and we take the time to understand your evening and morning routines so the support feels personal, not intrusive.
If you need more than overnight support
If your needs are higher, for example, if you need support across the day and night, overnight support can be combined with daytime services as part of 24-hour care. For ongoing support in a shared home, you may also want to look at our Supported Independent Living accommodation.
