STA respite, or Short-Term Accommodation respite, is a temporary stay designed to provide a break for primary caregivers. STA is designed to help informal supports continue their caring role. It is one option that provides participants and their informal supports time apart.

STA respite is available to individuals with a NDIS plan that includes funding for short-term accommodation. Eligibility depends on individual needs and circumstances. You may be eligible for STA Respite by using your core budget flexibly, however, this is all subject to approval by the NDIS. Participants who live alone or in a supported independent living arrangement, do not qualify for STA Respite, as they already have time apart from family and informal supports.

The duration of your stay can vary based on your NDIS plan and individual needs. The maximum stay allowed by the NDIS is 14 days at a time and maximum of 28 days per year. This is all subject to your plan and is not guaranteed.
