NDIS Short-Term Accommodation Support

Short-Term Accommodation is a method of delivering respite care that permits both the participant and their carer to have a break or a change of view.

Short-Term Accommodation allows you to experience living away from home in a supportive surroundings for short periods.

• Short-term care is where you are matched up with a support coordinator for a period that fits your requirements that can be consumed in your home or out in the community experiencing local activities, including camps.
• Group short-term accommodation choices match your requirements with other individuals who may have comparable needs and interests and enjoy participating in a group respite care activity.

While Short-term accommodation services are often provided in a group-based structure, the NDIS agencies provide STA as other support in your own home. Short-Term Accommodation is not just about the Accommodation, it also affects the help you obtain while staying there.

What are the benefits of Short-term Accommodation?

The benefits that you can get from STA activities are:

• make new mates and meet new people
• attempt new tasks and activities
• enjoy a change of view
• step outside your comfort zone
• de-stress and recharge
• boost of independence

STA offers capacity-building and group tasks as part of your visits. By staying in Short-Term Accommodation, the participants are treated to a respite from routine while their informal support network gets some time for themselves.

Taking a break from the carer is advantageous for both as it can assist in keeping cheerful family and carer relationships.
