What is short term accommodation (STA)?
Short Term Accommodation (STA) is the NDIS funding that pays for a short stay away from home, including the support, the accommodation, meals and activities. It is most often used for respite, a planned break that gives families time to rest while their young adult is well cared for.
At Empower and Shine, short term respite happens in warm, home-like settings in Cranbourne, not clinical facilities, with the same trained, screened workers your young adult can get to know. Whether it is a single night or a couple of weeks, it is designed to feel like a good stay, not just a stopgap.
Short term respite care that feels like a break for everyone.
Our NDIS short term accommodation is built around the person, comfortable rooms, engaging days, and support workers who take the time to get it right. Families get real peace of mind, with updates so you can properly switch off.

Is short term respite right for your family?
Short term respite suits families who need a break, whether that is a planned holiday, a busy work stretch, a family event, or simply time to recharge. It also gives young adults a change of scene, new activities, and a taste of time away from home with the right support around them.
It can be a single night, a weekend, or a longer stay, and it can be planned in advance or arranged at shorter notice where a place is available. If you are not sure whether STA sits in your plan, we will help you work it out.
