Short Term Accommodation and Assistance for NDIS participants
As a registered provider of the NDIS-funded Short Term Respite (STR) (also called Short Term Accommodation (STA)), Infinite Ability is dedicated to offering participants a safe and welcoming home-like experience during their stay.
What is Short Term Respite (STR) or Short Term Accommodation (STA)?
Short Term Respite (STR) is an NDIS-funded service that is designed to give both participants and their support networks (family or carers) a short break to recharge. It typically includes accommodation, personalised care and access to activities during the stay.
While many people in the community still use the term Short Term Accommodation (STA), the NDIA often refers to it as Short Term Respite (STR); regardless of the name you use, the goal remains the same: providing a positive, supportive “home away from home.”
STR offers proactive support enabling participants to build confidence and independence while also allowing families and carers to take a break.
STR may be suitable for people who:
- Would benefit from a change of environment
- Want to build confidence living more independently
- Are exploring new living arrangements or routines
- Need support while their usual carers are unavailable or are taking a break
