Short Term Accommodation (STA) & Respite
Short Term Accommodation (STA), including respite care, provides a safe, supportive 'home away from home' for NDIS participants, allowing families and carers to take a break while participants build new skills and enjoy community activities.
Short-Term Accommodation (STA) & Respite Care
Short-Term Accommodation, often referred to as respite care, is a fantastic way for NDIS participants to experience a change of scenery, try new things, make new friends, and learn useful independent living skills. It also provides a vital opportunity for primary carers and families to rest and recharge.
