NDIS Short Term Accommodation: A Refreshing Change That Supports Growth

Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), support comes in many forms — but one of the most impactful and often overlooked options is NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA).

Whether it’s for a few nights or a couple of weeks, STA provides a safe and supportive environment where participants can take a break from their usual routine, meet new people, try new activities, and grow in independence. And today, that experience doesn’t have to feel clinical — it can feel like a holiday.

What Is NDIS Short Term Accommodation?

Short Term Accommodation (STA) is funding provided through the NDIS to support participants when they need to live away from their usual home for a short time. This could be due to:

• The participant needing a change of environment

• The usual carer needing a break (respite)

• A goal of building independent living skills

• Emergency care situations

It typically covers:

• Housing/accommodation costs

• Support staff and personal care

• Meals and daily living activities

• Community participation experiences

Not Just a Bed — A Transformational Experience

The landscape of NDIS STA has changed dramatically in recent years. More providers are now offering premium, lifestyle-driven short-term accommodation tailored to the goals, needs, and preferences of each individual.

Think luxury homes by the coast, tranquil farm stays, or wellness retreats designed with accessibility in mind. These experiences combine:

• Personalised care

• Peaceful, comfortable environments

• Engaging activities

• Qualified support staff

It’s about giving participants more than just care — it’s about offering joy, rest, and the chance to thrive in a different space.

Why STA Matters

Short term accommodation helps participants:

• Build independence in a new setting

• Reduce stress through structured relaxation

• Improve mental health with a change of environment

• Strengthen social skills by connecting with peers

It also supports families and carers by providing the chance to take a step back, rest, and return feeling recharged.
