Respite care, reimagined
A balanced well-being pathway
for the whole family.
Rinfresca regenerates caregivers while their dependants build skills with specialised operators — at home, in the gym, on holiday. Starting with families of people with Down syndrome and autism.

our promise
Rinfresca meets the real needs of the whole family by offering services to regenerate caregivers while their dependants build capacities.
The Rinfresca pathway
Six modular services. One personalised journey.
The Rinfresca app is a one-stop-shop where families build their ongoing wellness journey from six integrated services — for holidays, daily life, or both.
Co-design
Agile-style sessions where families help shape the services they'll use — so packages reflect real needs, not assumptions.
Respite Retreat
3 or 6 night retreats in selected agri-tourisms. Caregivers regenerate; dependants engage in tailored Respite Camp activities.
Micro-respite
Moments of respite during the day — caregiver gets a massage while their dependant is in occupational therapy.
Self-Advocacy Art
Workshops where the whole family co-creates an artwork expressing their care needs. Exhibited in Our Right to Respite.
Life Coaching
1:1 sessions to develop the strategies and actions caregivers need to improve their family's quality of life.
Webinars
Free, interactive group sessions with experts in disability, neuropsychiatry, naturopathy, family planning, and more.
what makes us different
The while moment.
Most respite care sends a worker to your home to babysit for a few hours. Micro-respite meets families where they already are — the gym, the allied health centre — and pairs parallel activities for caregiver and dependant.
In conversation with
we begin together
Every Rinfresca journey starts with a conversation.
A video call to assess your family's needs, expectations and rhythm — and to co-design a package that actually fits.
