About the service
About Respite & Short-Term Accommodation (STA) under the NDIS
Respite, which the NDIS calls Short-Term Accommodation (STA), is a short stay away from home with the support you need. This registration group also covers Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) while long-term housing is being arranged, and host-family or other shared living arrangements. It often gives carers a break, and it comes from your Core supports budget.
Many SIL providers are also registered here, so check that a provider offers short stays and has vacancies before you plan around them. Ask what support is on site overnight, how many people stay at once, and how they learn your routines before you arrive.
