Our Services

Short Term Accomodation

ShineBright Care is delighted to offer two peaceful, home-away-from-home Short Term Accommodation (STA) options, also known as Respite. Our homes are located in the picturesque areas of Gwandalan and Kanwal, NSW. The Gwandalan home boasts stunning views of Lake Macquarie, while our Kanwal home enjoys the welcoming, accessible community of the Central Coast.

Both homes are deeply valued by ShineBright Care, providing calm and supportive spaces where children, young people, and adults with disabilities can enjoy a well-earned break while working towards their NDIS goals. For carers, it offers a vital opportunity to recharge, knowing their loved ones are in caring and capable hands.

If respite and STA is included in your child, young person, or adult’s NDIS plan, they are eligible to access our services. Whether you choose Gwandalan or Kanwal, our respite homes are designed to provide both participants and their families with rest, rejuvenation, and the meaningful support they deserve.

Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC)

ShineBright Care is proud to be approved by the Office of Children’s Guardian (OCG) to provide out-of-home care through Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC). Our registration process ensures that all our policies and procedures align with the OCG’s guidelines, allowing us to deliver high-quality Short-Term Accommodation (STA) through SSRC.

We are now taking bookings for our welcoming respite homes, located on the Central Coast!

This service is designed specifically for children and young people under 18 who require respite care and support to achieve their NDIS goals in a safe and nurturing environment.

Social Group Activities

ShineBright Care offers dynamic social programmes for children and young people aged 5–17, designed to support them in achieving their NDIS disability goals.

Our activities are engaging, inclusive, and tailored to build capacity in a fun and supportive environment. Delivered on a term-based and seasonal schedule, our programmes are thoughtfully developed by our Client Services Manager and Social Activities Coordinator, with a strong focus on early childhood and youth development.

We are committed to helping each participant grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Daily Living Activities

ShineBright Care provides our participants with a range of in-home activities designed to help maintain and build independence. These activities may include personal care tasks, meal planning and preparation, appointment management and assistance, domestic support, and other tasks aligned with the participant’s NDIS goals.

In addition, we offer participants the opportunity to engage in community activities that match their interests, either individually or in a group setting. Each activity is tailored to reflect the participant’s choices, with an emphasis on encouraging social development and building connections. Through active person-centred support, we ensure that every experience supports independence, personal growth, and the achievement of NDIS goals.
