RESPITE AND SHORT-TERM ACCOMMODATION FOR NDIS PARTICIPANTS

Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is support when you need to spend time away and out of home for a short period of time.

A short stay away from home may help to maintain your current living situation by giving your informal supports a break and give you:

• the chance to try new things
• the opportunity to develop new skills
• a place to make new friends

Short Term Accommodation includes:

• personal care
• accommodation
• food
• negotiated activities
• 1:1 support for overnight stays

Our services are tailored to each individual’s needs and we strive to provide the highest quality of care possible.

The NDIS usually fund up to 28 days of Short Term Accommodation per year. You can use your Short Term Accommodation funding flexibly. For example, you might want to use it in a block of up to 14 days at a time or for one weekend a month. 

The amount of funding you can receive depends on the level of support you require. If you already have funding in your Core budget, you can use this for Short Term Accommodation including respite.

If there are other supports that you require, please let us know, and we will do our best to meet your needs.
