What is Short Term Accommodation (STA) and Respite?

Benefits

For Participants: STA offers a valuable change of scenery, a chance to socialise with peers in a shared environment, and opportunities to build new skills and independence.

For Carers: The service provides essential respite for family members and informal supports, giving them a short break from their caregiving responsibilities to recharge and prevent burnout, thereby helping to sustain their long-term support role.

STA stays are typically used in short blocks, often up to 14 consecutive days at a time, and participants are generally funded for up to 28 days per year, depending on their individual NDIS plan and support needs.
