NDIS short term accommodation providers
Under the NDIS, Short Term Accommodation (STA) provides individuals with a temporary place to stay when they need to live away from home for a short period. This includes respite care for participants while their usual carer takes a break.
Short stays away from home, within safe and supported environments, offer numerous benefits for NDIS participants and their loved ones, including:
- Exploring new activities and discovering new passions in life. II. Socializing and making new friends in a friendly environment. III. Receiving assistance to make living in the community more sustainable. IV. Providing a break for the usual support network during holidays, work, or appointments. V. Learning new skills and enhancing independence. VI. Offering a safe haven if the usual carer is temporarily unavailable.
Under the NDIS, STA can be included in an individual’s plan and covers accommodation, personal care, meals, and agreed-upon activities. Typically, Short Term Accommodation is funded for up to 28 days per year and can be used flexibly to suit one’s schedule, whether it’s used all at once or spread out throughout the year.
