Frequently Asked Questions
STA (often called respite) is NDIS-funded temporary accommodation and support away from your usual home. It provides a break for carers and families while participants enjoy a supported stay in a comfortable setting — usually up to 14 days at a time.
STA is short-term respite, typically up to 14 consecutive days. Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is funded for up to 90 days and is designed for participants who need temporary supported accommodation while waiting for a longer-term housing solution (such as SIL or SDA) to be arranged.
NDIS participants who have STA funding in their plan can access this service. STA is particularly beneficial when families or carers need a planned or emergency break, or when participants want to try a new living experience and build independence.
Each stay is tailored to the participant. You'll be supported with all your personal care needs, enjoy meals, community outings, social activities, and downtime — all in a supportive, friendly environment. We aim to make every stay enjoyable and meaningful.
The NDIS funds STA at a set daily rate that covers accommodation and support. Most participants receive up to 14 days per year, though this varies by plan. Contact your Support Coordinator or EverCare to discuss your specific funding.
