The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for eligible participants to access support and accommodation for a brief stay away from home through Short Term Accommodation (STA), including respite. A break from their normal routine is important for people with disabilities for several reasons. It allows the participants to try new skills, meet new people and give a break to their informal supports. Also, Short Term Accommodation, including respite helps the primary caregivers of the participants to take time for themselves, to rest, and to attend to their own needs, which can improve their overall well-being and ability to continue providing care in the long term.
Choosing the right STA service provider is very important as it will impact the quality of services. Your STA provider will help you choose the right kind of accommodation and assist you in accessing activities that build your skills at the respite location. They will connect you with qualified support workers who will attend to all your disability-related needs and ensure that the standard of care is not compromised because you are staying away from home. The NDIS typically funds up to 28 days of Short-Term Accommodation per year which the participant can utilise flexibly. They can opt for STA 14 days at a time or go for one weekend per month over the course of the year.
