Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is support for when you need to live out of home for a short period.
Short Term Accommodation funding can be used for respite to support you and your carers. This gives your carers a short break from their caring role.
Sometimes a short stay away from home:
Short Term Accommodation may suit your needs if your usual support network isn’t available for a short period.
Short Term Accommodation includes:
The NDIS funds up to 28 days of Short-Term Accommodation per year. You can use your Short-Term Accommodation funding flexibly. For example, you might want to use it in a block of up to 14 days at a time or for one weekend a month.
Alternatively, if you need longer term accommodation support – Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), you may be eligible for this support.
The NDIS fund Medium Term Accommodation so you have somewhere to live if you can't move into your long-term home because your disability supports aren't ready. To be eligible, you must have a home you’ll move into and you need somewhere else to live in the medium-term. The NDIS can fund medium term accommodation for up to 90 days.
If you already have funding in your Core budget, you may be eligible to use these support services.
