Short Term Accommodation. (STA)

At SDS Care, we provide NDIS-funded Short Term Accommodation (STA) that offers participants a safe and supportive environment away from their everyday routine. Whether it’s for a few days or up to two weeks, our STA service allows individuals to relax, recharge, or develop new life skills in a comfortable, fully supported setting.

STA is funded under the Core Supports category in your NDIS plan and is ideal for short getaways, respite care, or trying new experiences in a group-based or individual setting.

What Is Short Term Accommodation (STA)?

Short Term Accommodation is temporary supported housing—usually for up to 14 days—that gives people with disabilities the chance to experience a change of scenery while still receiving essential care and support. It’s also a great opportunity to:

• Prepare for moving out of home
• Build confidence and independence
• Learn and practise daily life skills
• Meet new people and develop social connections
• Maintain family relationships through respite care
