Short Term Accommodation (STA), also known as respite, provides NDIS participants with an option to take a break from their usual carer, to build independence, or to have a change of scenery. STA can be facility or residential stays, assistance in overnight care, or alternative family care (family and/or friends can assist in care to relieve primary carer). The NDIS will cover all basic expenses with STA funding, which include accommodation, personal care and support, food, and activities.
