Shift in Tides is not currently NDIS registered. This means we work with participants who manage their own funding or use a plan manager. We are happy to provide clear service agreements and invoices to support this.

Our services typically fall under Short-Term Accommodation (STA) / respite-style support, as well as community access and social support. Support is focused on weekend getaways and one-on-one outdoor experiences.

Each weekend is planned individually, but typically includes:

• One-on-one support and supervision

• Overnight accommodation (such as camping or simple stays)

• Support with daily living and routines

• Meals and planned activities

All inclusions are clearly outlined in a service agreement before the weekend begins.

Most respite supports run from Saturday to Monday, but length and structure can be adjusted depending on participant needs and funding.

Yes. We specialise in 1:1 support, particularly for participants who prefer calm, personalised environments and outdoor-based activities.

No. All activities are optional and participant-led. We encourage choice, comfort and consent at all times. Activities are adapted to suit ability, confidence and interests.

Safety is a priority. We complete individual risk assessments, plan activities carefully, monitor conditions such as weather, and have emergency procedures in place. Support workers are First Aid and CPR trained.

Rates are discussed upfront and documented in a clear service agreement. Pricing is aligned with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements, and any optional extras (such as specific excursions or transport) are agreed to in advance.
