I’d recommend without hesitation
If you’re looking for a provider who is professional, caring, and genuinely invested in outcome, this is it. They were so accomodating towards our 5yr old who struggles socially, emotionally and has a speech delay Zayd was exceptional and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw how he interacted with him so well meeting his every need 🙏

This service has been such a blessing. They do so many different things, but what really stood out to me was the way they focus on real capacity building. My nephew, who’s living with Level 2 ASD, has always struggled with social skills. Other providers would just take him to the park or out to eat and call it capacity building, but it never really helped him grow.

When I got in touch with Zayd from Zyma, everything changed. He took my nephew on a proper day trip where the focus was on building life skills and social skills in a fun, meaningful way. It felt more like a “boys-to-men” experience. They went four-wheel driving at Mount Disappointment, and my nephew had the best time. The feedback I got was incredible, and he still talks about it.

Because of limited funding, we now arrange something once a month. Instead of four-wheel driving, they go hiking on different trails, and each trip is just as special. I really wish we could do this every week, but I’m so grateful that Zyma makes the most out of the funding he does have.

What makes it even better is how inclusive they are. Zayd sometimes invites other clients even from other providers so the boys can have fun together and practice their social skills in real situations. It’s something I’ve never seen before, and I honestly love it. My nephew is happier, more confident, and learning skills that will stay with him for life.

I’m very grateful to Zyma Care thank you for the referral, boys. There was a participant who needed specific support for virtual reality therapy, and the director at Zyma Care came across my website and referred him to me. He came down, had a chat, got to know me, and ended up referring a few more clients who needed my services. I’m really thankful for this, especially because Zayd, the director, didn’t ask for anything in return. Every other provider I’ve worked with has asked for a referral fee, but Zayd genuinely just wants the best for his clients. I really admire that. I’m so happy I get to work with Zyma Care thank you for the great business, guys. You’re honestly the best.

Frequently Asked Questions NDIS STA and Respite

We Answer Your NDIS Respite Accommodation Questions

Learn what NDIS respite covers, who’s eligible and how STA can benefit participants.

Yes, the NDIS covers respite care as part of STA, which falls under Core – Assistance with Daily Life. Funding typically includes up to 28 days per year. Visit this page to learn more.

The cost of respite care range anywhere from $680 to $4,100 per day, according to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2024–25. Final pricing depends on the time and day the support is delivered and the staff-to-participant ratio. The NDIS updates these rates annually.

STA and respite care are available to participants whose informal supports or carers need a break, and who are working towards greater independence. Participants may also be eligible if STA helps to maintain their functional capacity, build skills or support community engagement. To access STA, your plan must include Core funding for Assistance with Daily Life and meet the reasonable & necessary criteria.

STA supports people with disabilities by providing a safe, supportive environment to develop skills, try new things and make new friends, while also giving their informal supports a chance to rest.
