Short Term Accommodation

What is Short Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA), also known as respite care, refers to a temporary arrangement that provides individuals with disabilities with care and accommodation in a non-permanent setting. This service is often offered through disability support programs such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia.

The primary purpose of Short Term Accommodation is to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals when their regular caregivers are unavailable, need a break, or during times of transition. It can also be a valuable opportunity for individuals to experience different environments, meet new people, and engage in new activities.

What is included in Short Term Accommodation?

The scope of Short Term Accommodation can range from an overnight stay to a few weeks, and the accommodation can take various forms, such as:

Specialized Respite Facilities: These are dedicated facilities designed to provide respite care. They are staffed by trained professionals who are equipped to support individuals with a range of different needs.
Host Family Homes: In this arrangement, the individual stays with a host family who has been trained and approved to provide respite care.
Peer Support Stays: This might involve staying with a friend or another family who also has a family member with a disability, often on a reciprocal basis.
Holiday Units or Retreats: Some organizations offer vacation-style respite stays, where the individual can enjoy a change of scenery and participate in holiday activities, while still receiving the support they need.
