Overview

What this support means.

Short Term Respite is the current term commonly used for supports previously called Short Term Accommodation or STA. It can provide a change of routine for the participant and a planned break for informal supports.

Support may include

  • Accessible accommodation for the agreed stay
  • Personal care and daily living support
  • Meals and household assistance
  • Community and recreational activities
  • Support aligned with routines and communication needs
  • Clear planning before arrival and at departure

Is it a fit?

Who this may suit.

Short Term Respite may be useful for planned breaks, trying time away from home, building independence or supporting family and informal care arrangements.

NDIS funding and individual circumstances vary. Our intake team can discuss your situation, but only the NDIA or your plan manager can confirm how funding applies.
