Respite is a short-term break for people with an NDIS Plan and their informal support providers (guardians). It's also known as short-term accommodation (STA).
Short Term Accommodation funding can be used for respite to support you and your carers. This gives your carers a short break from their caring role.
Sometimes a short stay away from home:
- gives you the chance to try new things
- can be a place to make new friends or develop new skills
- may help to maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break.
Short Term Accommodation may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period.
Short Term Accommodation includes:
- personal care
- activities you and the provider agree to.
We offer a variety of different short term accommodation requirements to suit your needs, whether you require an individual support setting, group setting or accessible facilities. We have several properties that have been modified to assist people with disabilities to access and enjoy their respite.
