Respite Care
Home > Services
Respite services or Short Term Accommodation (STA) provides people with a disability a ‘home away from home,’ such as if they need a short holiday, weekend trip, or change in their usual routine. This also allows regular carers and family members to take a small break to attend to important duties.
STA allows you to live in a different environment away from home, living in an accommodation with support workers who provide care to you. With short term respite care services, you can take a well-deserved break, explore a new environment and partake in capacity building activities the accommodation may hold. STA can range from anything such as a weekend trip, overnight stay, or one-on-one care for a certain period of time in place of your regular carer.
Respite under the NDIS Living?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds ‘Short-Term Accommodation and Assistance’ under the Core Support category, ‘Assistance with Daily Living’ (Category 1).
The NDIS can fund up to 28 days of STA per year which can be used throughout the year, such as if you only need STA for shorter periods of times, including weekends or for a week or two. You can also use your budget for emergency respite care.
The amount of short term accommodation funding you receive depends on the level of support you require. If you are unsure about how much funding you are eligible for, speak with one of our friendly team members and we can help you.

Why NDIS Respite care?
- Everyone needs a break sometimes, especially regular carers who may not have the time to attend to personal duties, relax or travel.
- Respite or short term accommodation is a great opportunity for regular carers to relax, and come back feeling refreshed and energised. It can also strengthen the relationship between you and your carer.
- A lot of carers also take this time to attend to other important duties whilst their loved one can receive care in a safe environment.
