What is NDIS Short Term Accommodation?
Short Term Accommodation (STA) also called as Short Term Respite, refers to support provided when you live away from home for a temporary period. Although STA is the official NDIS term, you will often come across “short-term respite NDIS.” Short-term programs provide a secure and dependable respite service for caregivers and serve as a home away from home for individuals with disabilities.
You are eligible for STA if:
- You either live with your primary informal supports or they provide you with daily drop-in assistance.
- Your primary informal support system provides you with disability-related support for more than 6 hours a day.
Short-term Respite care for children is only provided under specific conditions when:
- The child’s disability assistance requirements are higher than average for their age.
- The support enables the family to carry out their duties of providing care.
As long as the need is directly related to their condition, both adults and children with disabilities can access STA.
