NDIS

Short Term Respite for NDIS participants

A calm, supported place to recharge while your carers take a break. We offer Short Term Respite stays for NDIS participants who have respite funding in their plan and receive significant daily support from informal carers.

A peaceful setting and a gentle routine give you room to rest and reset, while your family or carers have time to look after their own wellbeing. Every stay is anchored in your NDIS goals and disability-related needs.

What a stay includes

  • Somewhere calm to sleep

    Overnight accommodation in a calm, sensory-considerate, self-contained cottage in the heart of Kyneton.

  • Support with the day

    Help with daily routines in line with your assessed needs: getting ready for the day, gentle prompts around meals, and bedtime routines.

  • Room to settle

    Light support with emotional regulation, such as guided breathwork, quiet time and gentle grounding practices, where appropriate.

  • Meals

    Simple, nourishing meals and refreshments, either as part of an all-inclusive daily rate or as a clearly separate, self-funded extra, depending on your plan.

  • Independence, at your pace

    Chances to practise independence in a safe setting, for example managing your own morning routine with soft support from our team, as agreed beforehand.

Funding

What NDIS funding covers

  • What it covers

    Eligible accommodation and support, in line with current Short Term Respite guidelines. Short Term Respite isn't funded for holidays, tourism or luxury travel.

  • What is self-funded

    Spa rituals and specialised therapies usually aren't NDIS-funded, and are offered as self-funded additions if you'd like them. Leisure activities, shopping trips and tourism experiences are self-funded, and only included if they suit your goals and risk profile.

  • Who we can take

    Self-managed and plan-managed participants. Stays can be funded from your Short Term Respite or Assistance with Daily Living budget, if it's in your plan and meets NDIS criteria.

  • Before your stay

    We work with you, your support coordinator or recovery coach, and your carers to agree a support plan that meets the NDIS reasonable and necessary criteria.

  • How it is invoiced

    NDIS services are invoiced when they're completed, on 7 day payment terms. Balances unpaid after that are charged a fixed $25 late fee plus interest at 3% a month, charged daily until paid.

Paying less

Rebates and concessions

  • Health fund rebates

    On remedial massage, myofascial cupping and lymphatic drainage with our remedial massage therapists, Inta (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and Tracy (Sundays). Please check with your fund first: not every fund recognises their qualifications.

  • Concession card holders

    If you hold an eligible health care card or concession card, you get $30 off all our services.

Yesterday I had the most amazing facial and massage with Claudia. From the moment I walked in I felt instantly nurtured, the whole experience made me feel taken care of. What an amazing place, the products used are beautiful and the ambience throughout was so relaxing. I would definitely book again the next time I am in Kyneton.

My husband Gary & I went to Maiaveda for a Panchakarma, an Ayurvedic cleanse. We had treatments that would help our bodies prepare for a very deep cleanse. It was an amazingly powerful and empowering life changing experience spiritually, emotionally physically and mentally. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth & reassurance. Each visit was filled a lot of genuine love, support and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble, you had Marye’s & her team 100% focus & attention. The treatment rooms were truely unique filled with loving calm energy. Both my husband & I could not recommend it more highly. A place well worth a visit.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Maiaveda!! The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so calm and welcoming. The space is peaceful, and instantly puts you in relaxation mode. The massage itself was exactly what I needed, easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Claudia was highly skilled, attentive, and made sure to check in at the right moments. I felt completely rejuvenated and relaxed afterwards. You can tell that everyone who works there is truly passionate about what they do, wanting to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. I can’t wait to book my next appointment. Highly recommend. Xx

We had a great time at Maiaveda health retreat and spa. It was my husband's birthday and we booked massages for my family. They even had option for our 7 years old daughter. Clean rooms, clean towels, great ambiance and very accomodating girls. Claudia made sure that i am comfortable throughout my massage as i have several back issues and it gets really hard for me sometimes to lie flat on bed. Pressure was perfect. Oils smelled great. My daughter and husband had great time as well. They also treated us with some goodies in the end for my husbands birthday and we loved the jesture. My new favorite spa in Melbourne.

My previous experiences with massage & facials have been per functionary to address an injury or in the lead up to special event. How lovely then that my two hours experience was a purely selfish indulgence. I was kept warm the whole time and even drifted off to sleep! Can't recommend Pam or the service I experienced highly enough!

From one tired and sore mum, the pregnancy massage was beyond incredible. From the moment I walked up the stairs to Maiaveda, I felt a sense of peace. Marye welcomed me with such warmth, and the beautiful aromas instantly made me feel relaxed. The oils smelled divine and felt so nourishing on my skin. Claudia’s massage was amazing — I actually walked out feeling like I was floating. I’ll definitely be back. It wasn’t just a massage; it was a whole mind and body reset. I’m so grateful to have experienced this

I’ve been visiting Maiaveda for the past six years, and it continues to be my absolute sanctuary. Every experience is consistently nurturing, professional, and deeply restorative especially through my pregnancies. During my current pregnancy, I had massage with Claudia, and she was incredible. All the therapists knowledge, care, and intuition make me feel completely supported and safe each time. They all have a beautiful way of adapting the treatment to exactly what your body needs, and I always walk out feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely cared for. The environment at Maiaveda is warm, peaceful, and truly holistic exactly what you want when looking to unwind or reconnect with yourself. I recommend it wholeheartedly, especially for pregnancy care. It’s a place where you can trust you’ll be looked after with kindness and expertise.

Marye and her staff provide the most wonderful services. From the moment you walk in the door you leave the world behind and feel very nurtured in this amazing place. I have been going to Maivida for the last couple of years after a recommendation from a friend and the experience is the best. Thank you Marye for the wonderful service you provide. In the words of the great Tina Turner, “simply the best”.
