How Short-Term Accommodation can support people with disabilities

Short-term accommodation (STA) is a supported accommodation service that can be accessed through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Through this service, eligible NDIS participants are able to access temporary accommodation for a short duration, where they will receive support and care from a Service Provider.

In this article, we’ll go through some of the benefits of STA services.

Benefits of STA

A break from daily routines

Through STA, NDIS participants are able to take a break from their daily home routines while still receiving the support they need. With active supports in place, they can explore new experiences and engage in activities they enjoy.

Access to personalised care and support

STA services provide access to professional and skilled Support Workers. Services are personalised, and tailored to individual needs, conditions, preferences, and cultural backgrounds.

Learn new skills

With active supports in place, STA services can help NDIS participants live more independently and learn new skills. These skills can include carrying out daily house chores such as cooking and gardening, or self-care.

Providers respite for carers and families

Since the customer will be receiving support from a Service Provider, their families, loved ones, and personal caregivers are able to take a break from their usual caring responsibilities. This allows them to rest and recharge while their loved ones are cared for in a safe and supportive environment.
