NDIS Respite & Short Breaks in Melbourne

Sometimes the biggest boost to someone’s wellbeing comes from a change in scenery. At 123coach, our Get Away service supports NDIS participants across Melbourne with short breaks, day trips, and respite experiences that give participants new horizons and carers a well-earned break.

When the Same Four Walls Feel Too Familiar

For NDIS Participants

Home can start to feel smaller by the week, and the thought of going somewhere new feels out of reach without support.

For Parents and Carers

You haven't had a proper break in months, maybe years. You love your role, and you're also exhausted.

For Support Coordinators & OTs

You need an NDIS Service Provider in Melbourne who can deliver safe, planned respite trips away that give everyone in the household a reset.

Getting away is more than just respite. It helps people rediscover what they’re capable of and gives families the rest to keep going.

What Get Away Includes

As a trusted NDIS Provider in Melbourne, we combine community activities, one-on-one support, and carefully planned experiences to make NDIS short breaks and respite trips possible.

Day Trips And Outings

Beaches, national parks, cafés, markets, and local attractions across Victoria.

Overnight and Multi-Day Trips

Planned short breaks with planning, locations, times & travel all worked out with you. Together we plan your best life getaway.

Family Respite Support

Giving parents, guardians, and carers time to rest, recover, and reconnect with themselves.

Interest-Based Experiences

We talk with you, your family & find those interests, places & things you've been thinking of doing or whatever brings a genuine smile to make this what your wanting to do.

Travel Confidence Building

Supporting participants who haven't travelled in years to rediscover what's possible.

Plan Managed and Self Managed Support

We support Plan Managed & Self Managed participants, and coordinate closely with your NDIS Navigator, family, or allied health team before, during, and after every trip.

The 123coach Difference

123coach is led by David and Jenn, a husband-and-wife team who plan every Get Away trip together. David is a former ADF member (Tri-service), bringing logistics experience and the calm needed for new places. Jenn brings the organisational eye that comes from years in government and property management roles.

A well-timed break can be the turning point in someone’s recovery. Choice and control stay with you. You decide where, when, and how far.
