What is Short Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA)—also known as respite—is a temporary, NDIS-funded support that allows you to stay away from your usual home for up to 14 days at a time. STA provides a supportive environment where you can recharge, try new activities, and build independence, while giving your informal carers a well-deserved break.

Success Stories

What STA with INREACH Supports Could Look Like

Emma's story is an example of what a short-term accommodation (STA) stay with INREACH Supports might be like.

Emma wanted a break from her usual routine. During her stay, she got involved in fun activities, made new friends, and felt more confident doing everyday things on her own. Her carers were happy too — knowing she was in a safe, supportive place where she could enjoy herself and build new skills.

STA is designed to give both participants and their families a chance to rest, recharge, and grow.
