Farm respite at Kinduro Support Services is a unique experience that combines personalised care with the therapeutic benefits of nature and farm life.

Unlike traditional respite, where care is typically provided in a home or community setting, our farm respite takes place on a working cattle farm just north of Townsville.

Participants have the opportunity to engage in real farm tasks, such as feeding cattle, tending to the land, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

These hands-on activities aren’t just about keeping busy; they’re designed to help participants build practical skills, boost their confidence, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment.

The calming influence of nature and the therapeutic interaction with animals also provide significant emotional and mental health benefits.

At Kinduro, farm respite is about more than taking a break—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and gaining a sense of purpose.

The on-farm respite at Kinduro offers participants a unique experience that goes beyond traditional care. By spending time in nature, participants have the chance to engage in therapeutic, hands-on activities that promote mental and emotional wellbeing.

Whether it’s working with animals, tending to the land, or simply enjoying the peaceful environment, participants can develop new skills and a sense of accomplishment.

The fresh air and natural surroundings help to reduce anxiety and tension, providing a much-needed break from the pressures of daily life. Additionally, the social interactions that take place on the farm allow participants to build meaningful connections with others, creating a sense of community.

It’s an environment where participants can relax, de-stress, and gain confidence, all while receiving the support they need from our experienced team.

Farm respite at Kinduro is a refreshing approach to care, offering both physical and emotional rejuvenation.

At Kinduro Support Services, we offer a wide range of support services under the NDIS, designed to meet the diverse needs of participants.

Our core services include Supported Independent Living (SIL), where we help participants live as independently as possible in their homes or shared living environments. We also provide assistance with daily personal activities, such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, ensuring that participants are well-supported in their day-to-day lives.

Additionally, we offer community participation support, helping participants stay connected with their local communities and engage in social activities. Our on-farm respite care is a unique offering that allows participants to enjoy a hands-on experience with nature and farm life, promoting mental and physical wellbeing.

Whether you need help with household tasks, support coordination, or developing life skills, we’re here to tailor our services to your individual needs.

The farm setting allows us to offer a therapeutic environment where participants can connect with nature and animals, all while receiving personalised, respectful support. We’re also deeply committed to the local community and believe in providing consistent, caring support that’s tailored to each individual’s needs.

Our approach is all about making participants feel empowered, engaged, and part of something bigger.
