A short stay away from home can open up a world of new possibilities. The NDIS gives people with disability the chance to explore new experiences, build valuable skills, and take a well-earned break from their everyday routine. Whenever you feel the need to step away from your usual environment — whether to learn something new or simply recharge — NDIS Short-Term Accommodation (STA) is there to support you. It’s also a valuable source of respite for carers, giving them time to rest while their loved one is well looked after.
➡️ Benefits of Short-Term Accommodation
➡️ Build new skills through structured, capacity-building activities
➡️ Meet new people and get involved in your local community
➡️ Access temporary, reliable support at home when your usual carer is unavailable
➡️ Support community participation while giving carers genuine respite
How STA Funding Works
Short Term Accommodation funding covers the participant’s personal care, meals, accommodation, and capacity-building support during their stay. Funding is typically allocated at a group rate, though individual support can be accessed if it’s assessed as reasonable and necessary during your NDIS planning meeting. To access individual support, you’ll need to provide evidence that it’s required due to your disability.
