If you follow us, you’ll know Luke. He’s one of our regulars, a frequent flyer on CUC respite, and honestly a bit of a CUC legend.

This time Luke came to us with one goal: camp out in his swag. So we took him to the farm for a few days and built the whole stay around it.

Swag under the stars. Mornings with coffee and a view. Mucking out the stables, wheelbarrow runs, washing the float, filling hay nets and water troughs. Leading the horses out and rugging them up at night. Cooking breakfast and dinner on the barbie. Cheese platters in the afternoon. A campfire every single night, with a couple of farm dogs who decided Luke was their new best mate.

Every bit of it was Luke’s choice, and every bit of it linked back to his NDIS goals: everyday skills, confidence with animals, cooking his own meals, trying new things, and getting that swag ticked off the list. ✅

Goal: camp out in my swag. Done.

None of this happens without our team. Luke had 1:1 support from CUC staff the whole stay, and they made it look easy.

Respite is a break. Ours comes with a purpose. If you’d like us to link your goals to your next adventure, get in touch.

Fishing off the jetty. Racing down a water slide. Meeting giraffes up close. Game nights, campfires and a whole lot of laughs.

This is respite at Connect Us Care, and every activity has a purpose behind it.
Before each stay, we sit down with you and your NDIS plan and work out which goals the stay will work on: building independence, getting out in the community, making friends, trying something new. Then you choose the activities, the pace and who you share the stay with. We make sure each part of it links back to what you're working towards.
Your goals. Your choices. Our support the whole way through.

Respite (Short-Term Accommodation) can be funded through your NDIS plan, depending on what your plan includes. Not sure about yours? Give us a call and we'll go through it with you. It costs nothing to ask.

Five words that decide how we show up.

Every provider has a values statement. Most of them sit in a policy folder gathering dust. Ours is short enough to remember and specific enough to hold us to.

H — Honesty. If we can't do it well, we'll say so — and tell you who can.
E — Empathy. We listen first. The plan comes second.
A — Acceptance. Everyone welcome, exactly as they are.
R — Respect. Your choices, your goals, your pace.
T — Trust. The same faces, turning up when they said they would.

That last one matters more than people expect. Consistency isn't a bonus in support work, it's the whole thing. Knowing who's walking through the door on Wednesday is what makes everything else possible.

We're a small Shoalhaven team, and we'd rather be known for turning up than for talking big. So, here's our promise in writing: if we ever fall short of this, tell us. We'd genuinely rather hear it than not.

Monday Bake Days — come and bake with us!

Every Monday, our team gets together in a commercial kitchen in the Milton area and makes the handmade dog biscuits that go out to customers right across the South Coast. Mixing, rolling, baking, bagging, labelling — and a good lunch in the middle of it.

We've got room for a few more people to join us.

📅 Every Monday
🕚 11:00am – 3:00pm
📍 Milton area (we'll send you the address when you book in)

All abilities welcome. No experience needed — we'll show you everything.

You'll pick up real skills (food handling, teamwork, working to an order), build confidence at your own pace, and be part of a team making something people genuinely love. Best part? You get to see your biscuits on the shelf.

On an NDIS plan? Monday Bake Days can often be funded through it — under capacity building, social & community participation, or school leaver employment supports. Give us a call and we'll help you work out how it fits.
