Short Term Accommodation

Explores the benefits of  STA and highlights key features that make it a valuable service under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

1. Comfortable and Accessible Living Spaces:

Short-term accommodation services under the NDIS prioritize creating comfortable living spaces that are fully accessible. These spaces are designed with the specific needs of individuals with disabilities in mind, ensuring they have the necessary equipment, modifications, and facilities to navigate and enjoy their stay with ease.

2. Supportive and Skilled Staff:

Short-term accommodation providers employ trained and compassionate staff members who are experienced in supporting individuals with disabilities. These dedicated professionals are committed to promoting the well-being and independence of residents.

They offer assistance with personal care, daily activities, and any other support needed, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for all.

3. Social Engagement and Inclusion:

One of the key benefits of short-term accommodation (STA) is the opportunity for individuals with disabilities to engage in social activities and build meaningful connections. These services often offer a range of social and recreational programs, fostering a sense of community and encouraging residents to participate in various activities tailored to their interests and abilities.

This enables individuals to form friendships, develop social skills, and enhance their overall well-being.

4. Respite for Families and Carers:

STA services can provide respite for families and carers who play a significant role in supporting individuals with disabilities. By offering temporary accommodation, families and carers can take a break from their caregiving responsibilities, ensuring they have time to rest, recharge, and tend to their own needs. This respite contributes to the overall stability and well-being of everyone involved.

5. Choice and Flexibility:

The NDIS emphasizes choice and control, and short-term accommodation services align with these principles. Individuals can choose from a variety of accommodation options that suit their preferences, location, and specific requirements.

Whether it’s a fully accessible apartment, a shared living arrangement, or a supported group home, the flexibility provided allows individuals to select the option that best suits their needs and preferences.
