Short Term Accommodation

Our services include short-term accommodation options for NDIS clients, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.

Short Term Accommodation (STA) for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) clients provides temporary support and accommodation for individuals with disabilities. This service is designed to assist people who need a break from their usual living situation, whether they are living with family, in shared accommodation, or alone. Here are some key aspects of Short Term Accommodation under the NDIS:

1. Purpose: STA aims to offer respite for primary caregivers and support individuals to access social and recreational activities. It can help in skill development, community participation, and experiencing different environments.

2. Duration: STA is typically for short periods, which can range from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the client’s needs and circumstances.

3. Eligibility: NDIS participants can access STA funding in their plans if it is justified as reasonable and necessary support to meet their goals.

4. Types of Accommodation: Short Term Accommodation can include various settings, such as group homes, specialized disability services, or other residential programs that cater to individuals with different needs.

5. Support Services: The accommodation comes with various support services, including personal care, social support, and skill development. Staff trained in disability support usually provide these services.

6. Goals and Outcomes: STA can facilitate social connections, encourage independence, and provide opportunities for individuals to try new experiences and activities.

7. Funding: The NDIS covers costs associated with STA, which may include accommodation, meals, and support staff, as detailed in the participant’s NDIS plan.

Overall, Short Term Accommodation is a valuable resource for NDIS clients, promoting both their well-being and the well-being of their caregivers.
