NDIS Emergency and Crisis Supports

Published on June 22, 2025 | Updated on June 22, 2025

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes unexpected situations mean you or your loved one needs urgent help and extra care.

Emergency support

The NDIS provides emergency and crisis supports to help participants stay safe and supported during challenging times. Emergency supports can include extra hours of personal care, urgent nursing support, short-term accommodation, or respite care to give families a break during a crisis. For example, if a family member who usually provides care becomes sick, or if a participant’s health condition changes suddenly, extra help can be arranged quickly.

At OpenHearted Support, we understand how stressful emergencies can be. That’s why we respond fast and with care when your situation changes. Our team can arrange emergency support workers, overnight care, urgent nursing visits, and temporary accommodation if needed — all in line with your NDIS plan and policies.

We work closely with families, support coordinators and other services to make sure you or your loved one is safe and comfortable. Our priority is to reduce stress and help you feel secure while we manage the urgent needs together.

If you ever need help at short notice or want to plan for possible emergencies, our team is ready to talk and help you prepare a clear plan.
