What is Short-Term Accommodation?
Short-term accommodation, now referred to by the NDIS as short-term respite, is a support funded under the NDIS that provides short stays away from your usual care arrangements, often for up to 14 days at a time. It’s designed for people with disabilities who need a break from their normal routine, or when primary informal supports like family or carers need time to rest.

- Emergency Respite - Sometimes plans change suddenly. This might be due to illness, family circumstances or when a carer becomes unavailable at short notice. Emergency short-term accommodation may be an option in these situations. We can talk through what support is available and what steps can be taken next.
