The basics

Short term accommodation and respite: two parts of the same stay.

People often use these words to mean the same thing, but under the NDIS they describe two sides of one stay. Here is how they fit together.

1. Short Term Accommodation (STA)

STA is the NDIS funding that pays for a short stay away from home, including the accommodation, support, meals and activities. It is usually funded for up to around 14 days at a time and about 28 days a year. Think of it as the funding line that makes the stay possible.

2. Respite

Respite is the reason for the stay, a genuine break for families and carers, while the person you support is settled, engaged and well cared for. It is funded through your STA, so the two go hand in hand. Stays can be planned in advance or arranged at shorter notice.

Who it’s for

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 participants 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.

Respite questions, answered

Respite and STA: frequently asked questions.

What is short term accommodation (STA) under the NDIS?
Short Term Accommodation (STA) is NDIS funding for a short stay away from home. It covers the support, accommodation, meals and activities, and it is most commonly used for respite, a planned break for the participant and their family.
Is respite the same as short term accommodation?
Respite is the reason for the stay, a break, while short term accommodation (STA) is the NDIS funding that pays for it. When you take short term respite with us, it is funded through STA in your plan.
How is short term respite funded under the NDIS?
It is funded through Short Term Accommodation in your NDIS plan, often up to around 28 days per year depending on your plan. As a registered provider we can support self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants, and we help you understand what is available.
