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.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many Respite & Short-Term Accommodation (STA) providers are there in Queensland?
There are 1,083 NDIS Respite & Short-Term Accommodation (STA) providers listed in Queensland.
What is the average rating of Respite & Short-Term Accommodation (STA) providers in Queensland?
The average rating is 4.0 across 830 reviewed providers.
What is the difference between STA and SIL?
STA is a short stay away from home, with accommodation and support for the length of the stay. SIL is ongoing support in the home you live in, usually shared with other participants. SIL providers are listed under Supported Independent Living.
Is STA the same as respite?
Mostly, yes. The NDIS calls it Short-Term Accommodation, and many families still call it respite because it often gives carers a break. It is funded from your Core supports budget.
What is Medium-Term Accommodation?
MTA is somewhere to live for a period when you have a long-term home arranged but can't move in yet, for example while SDA is being built or home modifications are finished. The support you need while you are there is funded separately.
