What is NDIS Short-Term Accommodation?

STA provides temporary accommodation with personalised support. Participants can stay short-term in supported environments to build life skills, gain respite care, and access community participation opportunities while receiving daily living support and personal care assistance. As a registered NDIS transport provider we support participants in attending appointments, community activities, and essential outings during their stay.

Participants can access short term accommodation through their NDIS care plan, where trained support staff provide personal care services and daily assistance in a safe environment. During their stay, participants build independent living skills through skill development activities that support capacity building and confidence.

Why STA Matters

Short term accommodation offers respite care for participants who need temporary support in a safe and structured environment. Through our respite services, participants can stay for a short period while receiving personalised care and assistance, giving families and carers time to rest while knowing their loved one is well supported.

Our short term respite care focuses on comfort, daily support, and meaningful activities that help participants stay engaged and maintain their independence during their stay, while helping them build skills that are also supported through our NDIS SIL services.
