A Home Away From Home Built With Purpose
Myka Place is a purpose-designed respite home created specifically for children with complex and high support needs in Western Australia.
Unlike generic respite or short-term accommodation, Myka Place was built to feel like a true home away from home, warm, calm, safe, and deeply respectful of every child’s individual needs. For parents and carers, this means the ability to step away knowing their child is not only supported, but genuinely understood.
The Only Child-Safe Respite Home of Its Kind in WA
Myka Place exists because there was a clear gap in Western Australia. It is currently the only child-safe respite provider of its kind in WA, purpose-built to support children with complex disabilities and high-intensity care needs. Child safety is not an add-on it is the foundation. Every system, policy, and practice is designed using trauma-informed principles, strong clinical governance, and best-practice disability standards.
Leaders in Complex Disability Care
Myka Place is a trusted leader in complex disability respite care for children. We support children requiring high-intensity personal and intimate care, medical and health-related supports, medication assistance, enteral feeding support, and emotional and behavioural regulation. Our service is built around clinical excellence, child-safe systems, and compassionate, experienced staff.
