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.

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.
