What NDIS respite and STA covers
Short-Term Accommodation funds a stay of up to 14 days at a time, including your support, accommodation and food. It can be used for a break, a trial of independent living, or a chance to join a community activity you could not do from home. Most plans include some STA funding, and we help you work out what is possible within yours.
Who uses respite
Respite suits participants who want a short break with support, families who need time to rest or attend to other things, and people testing whether more independent living might work for them. It is not a one-size stay: we plan the time around the person, not the other way around.
What a stay actually looks like
A stay might be a weekend joining our social group and the fortnightly BBQ, a few nights closer to the bayside, or a short trial of living with more independence. You choose the activities, the support workers you see, and the pace of the days.
- Support from familiar Brisbane support workers
- Real meals, real activities, real downtime
- Clear daily pricing against the NDIS price guide
- A simple plan for the stay before it starts
