- NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA)
A genuine break for everyone
Short-Term Accommodation (STA), often called respite care, gives NDIS participants a safe, supported place to stay for a short period while giving family members and carers the breathing space they genuinely need.
Our STA services are designed to feel like a real change of scenery. Activities are built around your interests, care is consistent, and our team ensures you feel comfortable from day one.
What is Short-Term Accommodation?
STA is an NDIS-funded support that covers accommodation and personal care for up to 28 days per year. It is used when a participant’s usual supports are temporarily unavailable, or when both participant and carer want time apart to rest. STA can also be a great opportunity to develop independence skills and social connections in a supported setting.
Who Is This For?
- NDIS participants who live with family members or informal carers who need a break
- People whose primary carer is unwell, on leave, or temporarily unavailable
- Participants who want to develop independence or social skills in a supported environment
- Individuals interested in experiencing shared living before making a longer-term decision
