SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION
As planned and organized as one may be, we understand that sometimes, there may be a need for sudden short-term care and for various reasons. That’s why we are here!
We offer a respite program that provides quality, short term accommodation in a comfortable and relaxed environment where you or your loved one will be well looked after. Our respite or short stay accommodation is a relaxed stay for people with a disability for a weekend or a few weeks.
BENEFITS
Our Short-Term Accommodation allows the carer to rest and recharge in order to continue providing the best care for your child/family. We understand that sometimes, a good sleep is all you need to be your best.
It gives the participant (and sometimes, the carer) a chance to enjoy a different but fun, relaxing atmosphere, while the best supports are being delivered to the participants in a safe and secure environment.
It allows the carer the freedom to explore personal interests.
Our STA could also come in handy when you need home renovations and upgrades done.

Is Short Term Accommodation covered under the NDIS?
Respite may be an area that can be confusing for many people transitioning to the NDIS. The NDIA now recognises the importance of carers and families maintaining their health, wellbeing and resilience in order to meet the needs of people with a disability.
There are three levels of respite-like supports available for funding as part of plans:
Level 1:
7 to 14 days per year to allow the carer to attend key activities
Level 2:
14 to 28 days per year and includes a strategy to build capabilities for future independence.
Level 3:
Equivalent of 28 days per year, when the carer provides support most days and informal support is at risk of not continuing due to the intensity of the support required or severe behavioural issues.
If you are eligible for respite funding, it will include funding for accommodation in a group residence for a short period of time – typically up to 14 days at a time. It will also include support for self-care, food, and activities.
