What is NDIS Short-Term Accommodation (STA)?

The NDIS offers support to its participants in various forms, and short-term accommodation is one of them. It is a temporary housing support that lets you stay away from your home for whatever reason.

To acquire new skills.
To enjoy outings with friends and family.
To have new experiences away from home.
To meet new people and promote social interaction.
To transition between different living arrangements.
To receive medical or associated healthcare.
To ensure continued support while your primary caregiver attends to their commitments.

The primary focus of STA is on providing quality respite care and accommodation for NDIS participants, ensuring your utmost comfort and pleasure. Depending on your specific needs and preferences, you can discuss options with your NDIS provider, who will arrange appropriate accommodation.

For example, you can ask for accommodation with ramps for easy entry and exit, spacious bathrooms, or handrails. Check out the available accommodations if you need a better look.

However, you need to ensure STA is included in your NDIS plan. If not, ask your planner or LAC to do so at your plan review meeting. Once it’s approved, you get to stay in a disability-friendly place for 14 days at a time or 28 days per year.

Interested in trying STA? Give us a call at 02 6000 2379 or send us an email at edgardennis@popularcare.com.au. Our staff will get back to you as soon as possible with more information.
