STA SERVICES OR RESPITE

Short-term accommodation (STA) is a NDIS support previously known as respite. Even though many families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Respite provides a break for the family caregiver, which may prove beneficial to their health & allows both parties to be able to take 'time out' with real peace of mind. You may need emergency respite if you suddenly can't continue in your caring role for a little while. For example, you may be unwell or need to go to hospital. Respite has been shown to help participants build their independence, increase their overall well-being and feel they are part of the community while helping them achieve a goal. STA includes all reasonable expenses in a 24-hour period including assistance with daily personal activities, accommodation, food and other activities. We can accommodate participants over 18 years of age.

MTA SERVICES

Medium term accommodation (MTA) is one of the homes and living supports that can be funded by NDIS. It's funding for somewhere to live if you can't move into your long-term home because your disability supports aren't ready. Medium term accommodation isn't a standalone support.

DURATION OF STA DURATION

Your NDIS Plan will usually fund up to 28-days of short-term accommodation per year depending on your package. It covers the cost of your care for up to 14 days at a time. If you are eligible for respite funding, it will include funding for accommodation in a group residence for a short period of time, typically up to 14 days at a time. It will also include support for self-care, food, and activities. There are three levels of respite-like supports available for funding as part of plans:

• Level 1:7 to 14 days per year to allow the carer to attend key activities.
• Level 2:14 to 28 days per year and includes a strategy to build capabilities for future independence.
• Level 3:Equivalent of 28 days per year, when the carer provides support most days and informal support is at risk of not continuing due to the intensity of the support require or severe behavioural issues.
