NDIS Short-Term Accommodation & Respite Care in NSW & QLD

Take a break, try something new, or recharge with short-term support in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

What is NDIS Short-Term Accommodation & Respite?

Short-Term Accommodation, known as STA, including respite, is an NDIS support that provides temporary care and accommodation away from your usual home.

It gives participants the opportunity to take a break, build independence, and experience new environments, while also giving families and carers time to rest and recharge.

STA can be planned stays or used in times when additional support is needed, with care tailored to your needs and goals.

What your stay can include:

  • A safe, comfortable place to stay

  • 24/7 support from experienced staff

  • Assistance with personal care and daily routines

  • Meals and support with cooking

  • Social and community-based activities

  • Opportunities to build independence and try new experiences

  • Flexible stay options based on your NDIS plan

All stays are tailored to your individual needs and level of support.
