Frequently Asked Questions

What is Respite?

Respite, or Short Term Accommodation (STA), provides support for NDIS participants who need to stay away from home for a brief period. This funding is also designed to give carers a temporary break from their usual routines. Respite is ideal when a participant's usual support network is temporarily unavailable and can include personal care, accommodation, meals and pre-agreed activities with the provider.

Benefits of a short stay away from home
  • Explore new opportunities: Participants can try new activities and experiences.
  • Build Relationships and Skills: It’s an opportunity for NDIS participants to make new friends and develop new skills.
  • Support Sustainability: Helps maintain current living situations by giving informal carers a well-deserved break.
How to access Respite funding in your NDIS plan

If your Core budget includes funding, it can be used for Short Term Accommodation (STA). The NDIS generally provides up to 28 days of STA per year, which can be used flexibly - such as in blocks of up to 14 days or one weekend per month. Effectively utilising STA funding allows both participants and their carers to take essential breaks and recharge.
