What is Short Term Accommodation (Respite?)

Short Term Accommodation (STA), also known as Respite, is an NDIS support that offers participants a safe and welcoming place to stay for a short period of time. It is designed to provide both participants and their carers with a valuable break, whether it’s for a few days or a few weeks. STA gives participants the chance to recharge, experience new environments, and enjoy tailored support in a home-like setting, while families and carers can rest knowing their loved one is in capable hands.
