Short-term accommodation is an NDIS funded program for individuals with disabilities who need to live out of home for a short time. This can work as a respite for the individual as well as their carers. If used well, STA will be a good break and can be spent in learning new things or increasing the quality of life of disabled individuals and carers too. NDIS grants funds for short-term accommodation up to 2-6 weeks, available through the Core funding of your plan.
Short Term Accommodation funding replaces what used to be called ‘respite’ (i.e. alternative care arrangements for when carers need a break or are unable to perform their caring duties). Although it may seem a bit confusing at first, funding for respite is still available for participants and their carers, but it is now provided as ‘Short Term Accommodation and Assistance’.
BET Group homes allows NDIS participants who have access to core funding to experience time away from home in a safe and supportive environment with access to staff throughout the stay. We offer flexible short-term accommodation arrangements ranging from a week-long holiday, a weekend away each month, an overnight stay or a few hours break each week.
