Overnight Supports

Support that is there any time you need it

At Support Solutions Australia, we are here to support you whenever you need us, including overnight.

We specialise in providing both temporary and ongoing inactive overnight support for participants across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Hunter Valley, Central Coast, and Port Stephens.

What Overnight Support Does SSA Offer?

At Support Solutions Australia, we provide overnight supports that allow you to sleep safely and comfortably in your own home. We specialise exclusively in inactive overnight supports, where a trained support worker is present overnight but only provides active assistance when you need it. This approach helps you maintain your independence and enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

Under your Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Living, we offer a wide range of tailored overnight supports designed to help you live as independently as possible and achieve your NDIS goals.

Our overnight supports can include:

  • Assistance with personal care tasks such as eating, dressing, showering, and toileting
  • Medication support, including waking you to take prescribed medications
  • Help with mobility
  • Any other assistance you may require during the night
  • You require temporary or ongoing support during the night

Inactive Overnight Support: Sleep Easy Knowing We Are Here

Inactive overnight support means a trained support worker is present in your home overnight but only provides active assistance if you need it. This service is ideal if you require minimal support during the night, typically less than two hours, allowing you to rest peacefully while knowing help is close by.

Your support worker will sleep during the shift but remain on call to assist you whenever necessary. This approach respects your independence and need for uninterrupted rest while ensuring your safety and wellbeing.

Inactive overnight support can be tailored to your unique needs and routines, whether you need this service temporarily or on an ongoing basis.

How Does Inactive Overnight Support Work?

Inactive overnight support is tailored to your unique needs. Your support worker will sleep during the night but remain on call to assist you whenever you require active support.

An inactive sleepover shift is right for you if:

  • You need less than 2 hours of active support overnight
  • You require support coverage for a continuous period of eight hours or more
  • Your support worker can sleep for most of the shift, waking only when active support is needed
  • The shift starts before midnight and finishes after midnight on the same day
