NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA) /Respite
Enjoy a refreshing change of environment with Short Term Accommodation. With support that offers rest and routine in a safe, NDIS-funded setting.

What is Short Term Accommodation (STA)?
Short Term Accommodation (STA), previously known as respite, is an NDIS support that allows a person with a disability to enjoy a short stay away from home.
STA is designed to give you a refreshing break from your usual routine, try new experiences, build independence, and connect with others—while giving your family or carers some well-deserved rest and peace of mind.
