What is Short-Term Accommodation (STA)?
Short-Term Accommodation (STA), including respite care, is an NDIS-funded support that provides individuals with a temporary, fully supported living arrangement. This can be for a few days or up to 14 days at a time, depending on individual needs.
STA is designed to:
