FAQs About Short Term Accommodation and Assistance (Respite).
STA allows an NDIS participant to be supported by someone else while giving their carer short-term breaks from their usual caring responsibilities. Accommodation, meals, negotiated activities, community access, and daily living supports are all included in a STA.
A short stay away from home can help you:
make new friends and meet new people
try new activities
enjoy a change of scenery
step outside your comfort zone
De-stress and recharge
increase independence
Many STA providers offer capacity-building group activities as part of your stay, such as art therapy sessions, group fitness activities, or day trips.
By staying in STA, you’re treated to a break from routine while your informal support network gets some time for themselves.
Taking a break from your carer is beneficial to both of you as it can help maintain positive family and carer relationships. STA is also a great way for older carers to get a break and recharge as they are more likely to have health issues of their own.
Planned regular stays away from home can also help increase your independence as you transition to Support Independent Living and moving out of home.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds ‘Short-Term Accommodation and Assistance’ under the Core Support category ‘Assistance with Daily Living’ (Category 1).
STA funding includes all basic expenses in a 24-hour period related to the service including:
Accommodation in suitable facility
Personal care and support (including overnight)
Food
Activities you and the provider agree to
The NDIS usually funds up to 28 days of STA per year. There is some flexibility when it comes to using your allocated STA days. For example, you might want to use it in two blocks of 14 days, or for one weekend a month.
The amount of funding you can receive depends on the level of support you require.
For example, if you have very high support needs and your spouse is your primary carer, you may receive the full 28 days of STA funding in your NDIS Plan.
Or if you have mid-level support needs and want to build your independence before moving out of home, the NDIS may provide enough STA funding for a night away from your parents each month.
Generally funding is for a group price, unless there is evidence you require individual support because of your disability. This means you may share supports with other people unless you need individual support because of your disability.
You can find the rates in the NDIS Price Guide.
STA, like any other type of support, will be funded by the NDIS if it is related to one of your NDIS Plan goals. These objectives could include “preparing to live independently,” “learning new life skills,” or “making new friends.”
You must provide any evidence that helps the NDIS understand why it is reasonable and necessary for you to receive STA. Formal documentation from an Occupational Therapist or other professional, as well as a letter from the people providing informal supports, explaining why they (and you) would benefit from a break, could be included.
Other options, such as Supported Independent Living, are more likely to be included in your plan if you require longer-term housing or at-home supports.
On their website, you can learn more about how the NDIS determines whether STA is reasonable and necessary for you.
